BS ISO/IEC 9548-1:1996

This standard BS ISO/IEC 9548-1:1996 Information technology. Open systems interconnection. Connectionless session protocol is classified in these ICS categories:

• 35.100.50 Session layer

This Recommendation | International Standard specifies:

1. procedures for the connectionless transmission of data and protocol control information from one session entity to a peer session entity;

2. the encoding of the session protocol data units used for the transmission of data and control information;

3. procedures for the correct interpretation of session protocol control information; and

4. the functional requirements for implementations claiming conformance to this Recommendation | International Standard.

The procedures are defined in terms of:

1. the interactions among peer session entities through the exchange of session protocol data units;

2. the interactions between a session entity and a session service user through the exchange of session service primitives; and

3. the interactions between a session entity and a transport provider through the exchange of transport service primitives.

This Recommendation | International Standard specifies a connectionless session protocol. A connection-oriented session protocol is specified in ITU-T Rec. X.225 | ISО/IЕС 8327-1.
