Synopsis

Recent years have seen an emphasis on structuring standards concerned with computer networking, and on providing a structured framework for standards to create "openness". The aim is to provide an environment which will maximize communications through elimination of incompatibility and manufacturer dependence. This book describes the Open System Interconnection Basic Reference Model, and the individual standards within this framework. Chapters are devoted to the reference model itself, and further chapters describe the individual layers. The book is intended primarily for systems managers, data communication managers, programmers and engineers, as well as students of computing.
