.SH NAME

iso \- ISO protocol family
|

.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The ISO protocol family is a collection of protocols
|
|
that uses the ISO address format.
|
|
The ISO family provides protocol support for the
|
|
SOCK_SEQPACKET abstraction through the TP protocol (ISO 8073),
|
|
and for the SOCK_RAW abstraction
|
|
by providing direct access (for debugging) to the
|
|
CLNP (ISO 8473) network layer protocol.
|
|
.SH ADDRESSING
|
|
ISO addresses are based upon ISO 8348/AD2,
|
|
"Addendum to the Network Service Definition Covering Network Layer Addressing."
|
|
.PP
|
|
Sockets bound to the OSI protocol family use
|
|
the following address structure:
|
|
.sp 1
|
|
.nf
|
|
._f
|
|
struct sockaddr_iso {
|
|
short siso_family;
|
|
u_short siso_tsuffix;
|
|
struct iso_addr siso_addr;
|
|
};
|
|
.sp 1
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
This fields of this structure are:
|
|
.TP 10
|
|
\fIsiso_family:\fR
|
|
Identifies the domain: AF_ISO or AF_INET.
|
|
.TP 10
|
|
\fIsiso_tsuffix:\fR
|
|
The transport part of the address, described below.
|
|
.TP 10
|
|
\fIsiso_addr:\fR
|
|
The network part of the address, described below.
|
|
.SS TRANSPORT ADDRESSING
|
|
.PP
|
|
The above structure describes a simple form of
|
|
ISO \fItransport\fR addresses.
|
|
An ISO transport address is similar to an Internet address in that
|
|
it contains a network-address portion and a portion that the
|
|
transport layer uses to multiplex its services among clients.
|
|
In the Internet domain, this portion of the address is called a \fIport\fR.
|
|
In the ISO domain, this is called a \fItransport selector\fR
|
|
(also known at one time as a \fItransport suffix\fR).
|
|
While ports are always 16 bits,
|
|
transport selectors may be
|
|
of (almost) arbitrary size.
|
|
ARGO supports two forms of transport selectors:
|
|
"normal" or 16-bit selectors, and
|
|
"extended" selectors, or selectors that may be from 1-64 bytes
|
|
in length.
|
|
The default mode of operation is to use 16-bit transport selectors.
|
|
These addresses can be represented with the above structure.
|
|
When transport selectors of any other size are used, the transport
|
|
selector is kept in a separate structure.
|
|
See the manual page \fItp(4p)\fR.
|
|
.SS NETWORK ADDRESSING
|
|
.PP
|
|
ISO network addresses are limited to 20 bytes in length.
|
|
ISO network addresses can take any format.
|
|
ARGO 1.0 supports three formats.
|
|
See \fIisodir(3)\fR and \fIisodir(5)\fR.
|
|
.SH PROTOCOLS
|
|
The ARGO 1.0 implementation of the
|
|
ISO protocol family comprises
|
|
the Connectionless-Mode Network Protocol (CLNP),
|
|
and the Transport Protocol (TP), classes 4 and 0,
|
|
and X.25.
|
|
TP is used to support the SOCK_SEQPACKET
|
|
abstraction.
|
|
A raw interface to CLNP is available
|
|
by creating an ISO socket of type SOCK_RAW.
|
|
This is used for CLNP debugging only.
