relation to other subsystems.

Section 2, Management Environment This section introduces the tools provided

for configuration and management of the

OSI/AS subsystem and shows how they fit

into the architecture of the subsystem.

Section 3, NSAP Addressing This section provides basic information on

configuration files, subsystem processes,

protocol services, and connection

configurations.

Section 6, Performance Considerations This section describes, in general terms,

factors that must be taken into account when

adjusting your OSI/AS subsystem for

optimal performance.

Section 7, OSI/AS Subsystem Description This section provides a high-level, technical

description of the architecture and dynamics

of subsystem management. This section

presents an internal view of OSI/AS—the

components in relation to each other.

Section 8, Troubleshooting Guide This section describes common causes of
