PICS for the OSI MHS 1988 P7 Protocol
1 Introduction
To evaluate conformance of a particular implementation, it is necessary to have a
statement of which capabilities and options have been implemented for a given OSI
protocol. Such a statement is called a Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement
(PICS).
2 Scope
This document provides the PICS proforma for the P7 protocol as specified in CCITT
X.419 in compliance with the relevant guidance, and in accordance with the relevant
guidance, given in ISO 9646-2.
