Conformance and Implementation Information
Conformance and Implementation Information
To achieve interoperation among systems, you will need conformance information, both
for Compaq OSI products and for other products with which Compaq products must
interoperate. In addition to product-specific programming and management manuals,
Compaq provides conformance information for its OSI product family in a manual
entitled OSI PICS Manual. Be sure to obtain similar information from other vendors
whose OSI services or applications you plan to use. (PICS stands for Protocol
Implementation Conformance Statement. PICS are expressed in a standard format and
describe how specific parts of a standard are implemented in a product.)
