  Note:  These values assume a National Character representation of one
  character as two binary octets (see clause 8.2.3).

 From this table it is clear that:

 a)  the maximum length of an NSAP address in its binary concrete syntax
     is 20 octets; and

 b)  the maximum length of an NSAP address in its decimal concrete
     syntax is 40 digits.

 A Network Layer protocol which is capable of conveying a string of
 variable length with a maximum length of either 20 binary octets or 40
 decimal digits is capable of encoding the full semantic content of any
 Network Address.

9  CHARACTER BASED DSP ALLOCATION

An authority may choose to allocate NSAP addresses with the DSP in a
National Character syntax. In such cases, the allocating authority must
define and publish the mapping of the National Character syntax to
either a binary abstract syntax or a decimal abstract syntax.

 Note:  It is recommended that this mapping be done by reference to the
 ISO Register of Character Sets, which is maintained by the European
 Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) acting as a registration
 authority according to ISO 2375, "Procedure for the Registration of
 Escape Sequences".

In the case where the authority defines and publishes the mapping of the
National Character set to a binary abstract syntax, the result must be
representable in either one or two octets per National Character.  In
this case, the resulting DSP is considered to be based on the Binary
abstract syntax. AFI values from Table 8-2 and the mapping to binary and
decimal concrete syntaxes are based on the binary abstract syntax.

In the case where the authority defines and publishes the mapping of the
National Character set to a decimal abstract syntax, the result must be
representable in up to five decimal digits per National Character.  In
this case, the resulting DSP is considered to be based on the decimal
abstract syntax. AFI values from Table 8-2 and the mapping to binary and
decimal concrete syntaxes are based on the decimal abstract syntax.

 Note:  The ability to base DSP allocation on National Character sets
 allows DSP allocation based on international character sets. This may
 simplify address assignment in some cases, and may facilitate
 representation of NSAP address in humanly-readable form.  Nevertheless,
 NSAP addresses should not be confused with Application Layer entity
 titles.  NSAP addresses are not intended to provide the same degree of
 human-readable,  user-friendly  naming  and  addressing capabilities as
 may be expected in Application Layer entity titles.

10  REFERENCE PUBLICATION FORMATS

Reference publication formats are defined  to  allow  unambiguous
representation of NSAP addresses in both written and oral communication.

10.1  Decimal Reference Publication Format

 The Decimal reference publication form (DRPF) consists of a string of
 up to 40 decimal digits.  The DRPF is the written inscription of the
 decimal concrete syntax defined in clause 8.3.2.

10.2  Hexadecimal Reference Publication Format

 The Hexadecimal reference publication format (HRPF) consists of the
 symbol "/" (solidus) followed by a string of up to 40 hexadecimal
 digits. The HRPF is the written inscription of the binary concrete
 syntax defined in clause 8.3.1, using two hexadecimal digits ranging
 from 00 through FF to represent each binary octet.

ANNEX A - NETWORK ENTITY TITLES

This Annex is an integral part of the Addendum.

In order to perform routing functions and to distribute Network Layer
management information concerning routing among Network entities, it is
necessary to be able to unambiguously identify Network entities in end
systems and intermediate systems.  The Reference Model (ISO 7498)
provides a definition of the concept of an (N)-entity title, which may
be used to permanently and unambiguously identify a Network entity in an
end system or intermediate system.

Any authority responsible for allocating addresses to NSAPs may choose
also to allocate Network entity titles. One of the ways in which this
can be done is to use the principles and mechanisms defined in this
Addendum for allocating Network addresses. When this approach is taken,
a Network entity title has the same abstract syntax as an NSAP address.
A value may be allocated as a Network entity tile only if it has not
been allocated as an NSAP address.

ANNEX C - RATIONALES

This annex contains tutorial and explanatory material, and is not an
integral part of the Addendum.

C.1  IDI FORMATS (Clause 8.2.1.2)

 The rationale for the use of the specific IDI formats identified in
 Clause 8.2.1.2 is to allow the allocation and assignment of NSAP
 addresses to be based on existing, well-established network numbering
 plans and organization-identification standards.

 The CCITT numbering plans are included so as to allow for the
 designation of the organization to which a number is assigned as an
 authority for the assignment of NSAP addresses. If the organization
 identified by a particular number from one of these plans chooses not
 to define any further sub-addressing beyond that number, then the
 number itself constitutes an NSAP address when it is used in the OSI
 environment. This flexibility allows number allocated from the four
 CCITT numbering plans identified in Clause 8.2.1.2 to be used directly
 as NSAP addresses, with the addition of nothing more than the initial
 AFI digits that identify the plan.

 The ISO DCC format is included so as to allow for the designation,
 where permitted by national regulations, of the organization that
 represents a country in ISO (or an appropriately sponsored
 organization) as an authority for the assignment of
 geographically-based NSAP addresses. The way in which addresses are
 allocated and assigned in the ISO DCC format is determined by the
 designated organization, which might, for example, be the national
 standards body that represents a country in ISO.

 The ISO 6523-ICD format is included so as to allow for the designation,
 where permitted by national regulations, of an organization that may or
 may not be tied to a particular country as an authority for the
 assignment of NSAP addresses according to the hierarchy appropriate for
 that organization (which may not be based on geographical or national
 boundaries).  The way which addresses are allocated and assigned in the
 ISO 6523-ICD format is determined by the designated organization, which
 might, for example, be the United Nations World Health Organization.

 The Local format is included so as to allow for proprietary or other
 non-standard network addressing schemes to coexist with the standard
 OSI network addressing scheme.  Use of the Local format for  these
 non-standard address ensures that they cannot be confused with standard
 OSI network addresses. This capability will be useful in the evolution
 of existing networks to OSI, and for the accommodation of non-OSI
 addressing schemes that may be used in
