 3.5  Additional Definitions

  For the purposes of this document, the following definitions apply:

   a) automaton    -  a machine designed to follow automatically a
                      predetermined sequence of operations or to respond
                      to encoded instructions.

   b) local matter -  a decision made by a system concerning its
                      behavior in the Network Layer that is not subject
                      to the requirements of this Protocol.

   c) segment      -  part of the user data provided in the N_UNITDATA
                      request and delivered in the N_UNITDATA
                      indication.

   d) initial PDU  -  a protocol data unit carrying the whole of the
                      user data from an N_UNITDATA request.

   e) derived PDU  -  a  protocol data unit whose fields are identical
                      to those of an initial PDU, except that it carries
                      only a segment of the user data from an N_UNITDATA
                      request.

   f) segmentation -  the act of generating two or more derived PDUS
                      from an initial or derived PDU.  The derived PDUs
                      together carry the entire user data of the initial
                      or derived PDU from which they were generated.
                      [Note: it is possible that such an initial PDU
                      will never actually be generated for a particular
                      N_UNITDATA request, owing to the immediate
                      application of segmentation.]

   g) reassembly   -  the act of regenerating an initial PDU (in order
                      to issue an N_UNITDATA indication) from two or
                      more derived PDUs produced by segmentation.

5  OVERVIEW OF THE PROTOCOL

 5.1  Internal Organization of the Network Layer

  The architecture of the Network Layer is described in a separate
  document, Internal Organization of the Network Layer (ISO iiii), in
  which an OSI Network Layer structure is defined, and a structure to
  classify protocols as an aid to the progression toward that structure
  is presented. This protocol is designed to be used in the context of
  the internetworking protocol approach defined in that document,
  between Network Service users and/or Network Layer relay systems. As
  described in the Internal Organization of the Network Layer, the
  protocol herein described is a Subnetwork Independent Convergence
  Protocol combined with relay and routing functions designed to allow
  the incorporation of existing network standards within the OSI
  framework.

  A Subnetwork Independent Convergence Protocol is one which can be
  defined on a subnetwork independent basis and which is necessary to
  support the uniform appearance of the OSI Connectionless-mode Network
  Service between Network Service users and/or Network Layer relay
  systems over a set of interconnected homogeneous or heterogeneous
  subnetworks. This protocol is defined in just such a subnetwork
  independent way so as to minimize variability where subnetwork
  dependent and/or subnetwork access protocols do not provide the OSI
  Network Service.

  The subnetwork service required from the lower sublayers by the
  protocol described herein is identified in Section 5.5.

 5.2  Subsets of the Protocol

  Two proper subsets of the full protocol are also defined which permit
  the use of known subnetwork characteristics, and are therefore not
  subnetwork independent.

  One protocol subset is for use where it is known that the source and
  destination end-systems are connected by a single subnetwork. This is
  known as the "Inactive Network Layer Protocol" subset. A second subset
  permits simplification of the header where it is known that the source
  and destination end-systems are connected by subnetworks whose
  subnetwork service data unit (SNSDU) sizes are greater than or equal
  to a known bound large enough for segmentation not to be required.
  This subset, selected by setting the "segmentation permitted" flag to
  zero, is known as the "non-segmenting" protocol subset.

 5.3  Addressing

  The Source Address and Destination Address parameters referred to in
  Section 7.3 of this International Standard are OSI Network Service
  Access Point Addresses. The syntax and semantics of an OSI Network
  Service Access Point Address, the syntax and encoding of the Network
  Protocol Address Information employed by this Protocol, and the
  relationship between the NSAP and the NPAI is described in a separate
  document, ISO 8348/DAD2, Addendum to the Network Service Definition
  covering Network Layer Addressing.

  The syntax and semantics of the titles and addresses used for relaying
  and routing are also described in ISO 8348/DAD2.

 5.4  Service Provided by the Network Layer

  The service provided by the protocol herein described is a
  connectionless-mode Network Service. The connectionless-mode Network
  Service is described in document ISO 8348/DAD1, Addendum to the
  Network Service Definition Covering Connectionless-mode Transmission.
  The Network Service primitives provided are summarized below:

  maximum size of a connectionless-mode Network-service-data-unit is
  limited to 64512 octets.

  5.5.1  Subnetwork Addresses

   The source and destination addresses specify the points of attachment
   to a public or private subnetwork(s) involved in the transmission.
   Subnetwork addresses are defined in the Service Definition of each
   individual subnetwork.

   The syntax and semantics of subnetwork addresses are not defined in
   this Protocol Standard.

  5.5.2  Subnetwork Quality of Service

   Subnetwork Quality of Service describes aspects of a subnetwork
   connectionless-mode service which are attributable solely to the
   subnetwork service provider.

   Associated with each subnetwork connectionless-mode transmission,
   certain measures of quality of service are requested when the
   primitive action is initiated. These requested measures (or parameter
   values and options) are based on a priori knowledge by the Network
   Service provider of the service(s) made available to it by the
   subnetwork. Knowledge of the nature and type of service available is
