Some 179 member countries, 84 telecom operating entities, 145 scientific and industrial organizations and 38 international organizations participate in ITU-T which is the body which sets world telecommunications standards (Recommenda

4、tions). The approval of Recommendations by the Members of ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1 (Helsinki, 1993). In addition, the World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, approves Recommendations submitted to it and esta

In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with,ISO and IEC. The text of ITU-T Recommendation X.200 was approved on Ist of July 1994. The identical text

16、ommon basis for the coordination of standards development for the purpose of systems interconnection, while allowing existing standards to be placed into perspective within th overall Reference Model. 1.2 The term Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) qualifies standards for the exchange of information

17、 among systems that are “open” to one another for this purpose by virtue of their mutual use of the applicable standards. 1.3 The fact that a system is open does not imply any particular systems implementation, technology or means of interconnection, but refers to the mutual recognition and support

18、of the applicable standards. 1.4 It is also the purpose of this Reference Model to identify areas for developing or improving standards, and to provide a common reference for maintaining consistency of all related standards. It is not the intent of this Reference Model either to serve as an implemen

19、tation specification, or to be a basis for appraising the conformance of actual implementations, or to provide a sufficient level of detail to define precisely the services and protocols of the interconnection architecture. Rather, this Reference Model provides a conceptual and functional framework

20、which allows international teams of experts to work productively and independently on the development of standards for each layer of the Reference Model for OSI. 1.5 The Reference Model has sufficient flexibility to accommodate advances in technology and expansion in user demands. This flexibility i

21、s also intended to allow the phased transition from existing implementations to OS1 standards. 1.6 While the scope of the general architectural principles required far OS1 is very broad, this Reference Model is primarily concerned with systems comprising terminals, computers, and associated devices

22、and the means for transferring information between such systems. Other aspects of OS1 requiring attention are described briefly (see 4.2). 1.7 1.8 of the interconnection, and describes the modelling principles used in OSI. The description of the Basic Reference Model of OS1 is developed in stages: C

23、lause 4 establishes the reasons for Open Systems Interconnection, defines what is being connected, the scope 1.9 what layering means, and the principles used to describe layers. , 1.10 Clause 6 names, and introduces the specific layers of the architecture. 1.11 Clause 7 provides the description of t

24、he specific layers. 1.12 Clause 8 provides the description of Management Aspects of OSI. 1.13 Clause 9 specifies compliance and consistency with the OS1 Reference Model. 1.14 An indication of how the layers were chosen is given in Annex A to this Basic Reference Model. 1.15 Additional aspects of thi

25、s Reference Model beyond the basic aspects are described in several parts. The first part describes the Basic Reference Model. The second part describes the architecture for OS1 Security. The third part describes OS1 Naming and Addressing. The fourth describes OS1 System Management. 1.16 The Basic R

26、eference Model serves as a framework for the definition of services and protocols which fit within the boundaries established by the Reference Model. 1.17 In those few c.es where a feature is explicitly marked (optional) in the Basic Reference Model it should remain optional in the corresponding ser

An index of these terms is provided in Annex B for easy reference. 3 Notation 3.1 layers: Layers are introduced in clause

30、5. An (N)-, (N+l)- and (N-1)- notation is used to identify and relate adjacent (N)-layer: any specific layer; (N+l)-layer: the next higher layer; (N-1)-layer: the next lower layer. This notation is also used for other concepts in the model which are related to these layers, for example (N)-protocol,

31、 (N+1 )-service. 3.2 Clause 6 introduces names for individual layers. When refemng to these layers by name, the (N)-, (N+l)- and (N-1)- prefixes are replaced by the names of the layers, for example transport-protocol, session-entity, and network-service. 4 Introduction to Open Systems Interconnectio

38、 Open System Interconnection Environment 4.2.1 In the concept of OSI, a real system is a set of one or more computers, associated software, peripherals, terminals, human operators, physical processes, information transfer means, etc., that forms an autonomous whole capable of performing information

39、processing and/or information transfer. 4.2.2 a particular application. An application process is an element within a real open system which performs the information processing foy 4.2.3 Application processes can represent manual processes, computerized processes or physical processes. 4.2.4 Some ex

40、amples of application processes that are applicable to this open system definition are the following: a) a person operating a banking terminal is a manual application-process; b) a FORTRAN program executing in a computer center and accessing a remote database is a computerized application-process; t

41、he remote database management systems server is also an application-process; and c) a process control program executing in a dedicated computer attached to some industrial equipment and linked into a plant control system is a physical application-process. 4.2.5 An application process represents a se

42、t of resoufces, including processing resources, within a real open system that may be used to perform a particular information processing activity. An application process may organize its interactions with other application processes in whatever way is necessary to achieve a particular information p

43、rocessing goal: no constraints are imposed by this Reference Model either on the form of these interactions or on the possible relationships that may exist between them. 4.2.6 The activity of a given application process is represented by one or more application process invocations. Cooperation betwe

44、en application processes takes place via relationships established among application process invocations. At a particular time, an application process may be represented by none, one or more application process invocations. An application process invocation is responsible for coordinating its intera

45、ctions with other application process invocations. Such coordination is outside the scope of this Reference Model. 4.2.7 each individual real open system).

A system which complies with the requirements of applicable OS1 standards i

49、n its cooperation with other systems is termed a real open system. 4.2.12 The design intent of the OS1 standards is to specify a set of standards that make it possible for autonomous systems to communicate. Any equipment which communicates in conformance with all applicable OS1 protocol standards is a real world equivalent of the model concept “open system”. Equipment that is in the “terminal” category, that is, one that requires human intervention for the dominant parts of information processing, may satisfy the conditions of the previous sentences when the appropriate OS1 stan
