Introduction
Introduction
ISO 8473 is one of a set of International Standards produced to facilitate the
interconnection of open systems. The set of standards covers the services and protocols
required to achieve such interconnection.
This International Standard is positioned with respect to other related standards by the
layers defined in ISO 7498. In particular, it is a protocol of the Network Layer. This
International Standard may be used between Network entities on End systems or in
Network Layer relay systems (or both). It provides the connectionless-mode Network
Service as defined in ISO 8348/Add.1.
