International Regulations Concerning Management
Domains
After you determine the answers to the route-selection questions, you can continue to
the next level of issues. These issues appear in the following list and are described in
more detail in the following subsections.
•
What are the regulations concerning management domains in the countries to
which you want to send messages? How does this affect your planning?
•
What O/R name addressing forms within the message will be going through the
network?
•
How will you set up route retries and link retries?
•
How will you determine priorities?
•
How can you verify that you have set up your route-selection criteria correctly?
International Regulations Concerning Management Domains
The CCITT recommendations and the Message-Oriented Text Interchange System
(MOTIS) of the International Standards Organization (ISO/IEC) standards view
management domains differently. You need to know the requirements of the countries
to which you want to send messages because this affects how you create your routing
tables. Your configuration must comply with the regulations of all the countries
affected.
