BS ISO/IEC 8473-2:1996

This standard BS ISO/IEC 8473-2:1996 Information technology. Protocol for providing the connectionless-mode network service is classified in these ICS categories:

• 35.100.20 Data link layer
• 35.100.30 Network layer

This part of ISO/IEC 8473 specifies the way in which the underlying service assumed by the protocol defined by ISO/IEC 8473-1 is provided by a subnetwork that conforms to ISO/IEC 8802 through the operation of a subnetwork dependent convergence function (SNDCF) as described in ISO/IEC 8648. The SNDCF specified by this part of ISO/IEC 8473 may be used with any ISO/IEC 8802 compliant subnetwork that provides the logical link control sublayer interface service defined by ISO/IEC 8802-2.

This part of ISO/IEC 8473 also provides the PICS proforma for this protocol, in compliance with the relevant requirements, and in accordance with the relevant guidance, given in ISO/IEC 9646-1.
