9780470211007: OSI Explained: End-To-End Computer Communication Standards

Synopsis

Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) lies at the centre of global computer networking developments for the 1990s and beyond. Its goal is to allow computers to communicate regardless of their location, their operating system, their network topology, or their manufacture. This book presents OSI in a form palatable to the computer-literate reader, and thereby explains how it actually works. The subject is defined precisely in a series of standards, published by the International Standards Organization (ISO). These specify the rules and procedures which computer systems must follow to support the OSI user applications such as X.400 (electronic mail) and FTAM (file transfer).
