X.42 (10/2003) i ITU-T Recommendation X.42 Procedures and methods for accessing a public data network from a DTE operating under control of a generalized polling protocol Summary This Recommendation defines procedures and a framework

8、for providing access to a Public Data Network (PDN) by a DTE operating under the control of a generalized polling protocol, via the use of a Packet Assembly/Disassembly (PAD) device situated within (or associated with) the PDN. The PAD supporting the generalized polling protocol aspect is referred t

9、o as a “GPAD“. The generalized polling environment provides support for access, along with basic requirements necessary within the PAD to enable the selection and modification of the protocol Aspect. This Recommendation has been developed in realization that a well-established base of DTEs operating

10、 under control of a generalized polled protocol needs to access a PDN. Also, procedures are defined that allow Internet Protocol (IP) enabled devices to access their corresponding networks over the generalized polling protocol defined under ITU-T Rec. X.42. The revision is a result of comments recei

11、ved from implementers. Several clarifications are introduced that remove ambiguities in the areas of bit, field and frame sequencing; event conditions; and checksum algorithms. Source ITU-T Recommendation X.42 was approved by ITU-T Study Group 17 (2001-2004) under the ITU-T Recommendation A.8 proced

12、ure on 29 October 2003. ii ITU-T Rec. X.42 (10/2003) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for st

13、udying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study gr

14、oups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with

15、 ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provis

16、ions (to ensure e.g. interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such

17、 words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position

18、 concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected

X.42 (10/2003) 1 ITU-T Recommendation X.42 Procedures and methods for accessing a public data network from a DTE operating under control of a generalized polling protocol 1 Scope This Recommendation defines the procedures an

25、d methods for accessing a Public Data Network (PDN) from a DTE operating under the control of a generalized polling protocol via the use of a Packet Assembly/Disassembly (PAD) device situated within (or associated with) the PDN. This Recommendation is the first of a set of Recommendations produced t

26、o facilitate asynchronous access to a PDN via Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) circuits. This Recommendation addresses the most important aspect of communications between the PAD and a subnetwork of terminals connected via PMP circuits the multidrop data link protocol providing medium access arbitration, d

27、ata link addressing and data protection for transmission over a PMP circuit. For those terminal devices and PMP environments, which require expanded networking capabilities and which, in addition to PMP medium arbitration, transmission error detection, and station addressing, require transparent tra

28、nsmission of network layer PDUs within user data of X.42 information frames, an encapsulation class of procedures is defined. In the case of IP-based networks, an X.42 PAD is therefore considered as a network edge device, which provides connectivity between PMP-based, IP-enabled terminals and IP-bas

29、ed devices on the opposite side of the network. There exist large networks of terminals connected to PDNs, characterized by low data throughput requirements both in terms of channel bandwidth and packet per second rate. Such a traffic profile mandates the need for a reduction of cost sensitive netwo

30、rk architecture components, which traditionally grow as a function of the number of remote terminals. In a practical sense, this amounts to a requirement for various forms of concentration and clustering of switching equipment, tail circuits, virtual communications channels and trunks, such that the

31、 total number does not grow in direct proportion to the number of end users terminals. Major savings in cost and resource utilization can be achieved when effective sharing of data communications channels is applied. The majority of the networks which utilize PMP technology are implemented using ine

32、xpensive analogue circuits and asynchronous data transmission. This configuration is prevalent in many transaction processing applications with request/response type traffic, consisting of a small number of short bidirectional messages. To be economically viable, applications running over PMP circui

33、ts typically require very low unit cost data communications. Such low costs can only be achieved through major economies of scale leading to a lower telecommunications resource usage. These PDN resources, in the case of those complying with ITU-T Rec. X.25, are: multidrop ports; Telecommunications m

34、odems; X.25 DTEs, with an efficient concentration ratio of PAD X.25 DTEs to the total number of terminals; X.25 SVCs, with an efficient concentration ratio of X.25 SVCs to the total number of terminals; Call Establishment Requests, with a low ratio of total number of call requests to the total numbe

35、r of terminals; and Non-informational traffic, as the request/response characteristics of the traffic inherently induces piggy-back acknowledgments. 2 ITU-T Rec. X.42 (10/2003) This Recommendation directly addresses these needs by providing simple, low complexity and bandwidth-efficient network reso

36、urce management. Introduction of this protocol aspect enables a low cost offering, and opens PDN transport to a broad existing terminal base. See Figure 1.
