The framework provided i
14、s flexible and modular, to allow reuse and coordination of application layer Recommendations I International Standard. This Recommendation I International Standard does not specify services and protocols for OSI. Introduction This Recommendation I International Standard is a refinement of the descri
15、ption of the OS1 Application Layer contained in ITU-T Rec. X.200 I ISOAEC 7498-1. The purpose of this Recommendation I International Standard is to facilitate a coherent and modular approach to Application Layer standardization. It defines a set of architectural principles and concepts that provide
16、a basis for structuring and relating the specifications contained in Application Layer Recommendations and Standards. It defines the internal structure of the Application Layer, providing a framework for the development of Application Layer Recommendations and Standards. It also describes the genera
17、l principles underlying the operation of application- protocols. The following subjects are covered by this Recommendation I International Standard: a) b) the structure of application-entities; c) d) ASO-context and application-context. the relationship between distributed information processing and
18、 OS1 communication services; the OSI-service and protocol structure in the Application Layer; and This Recommendation I International Standard only considers those aspects of distributed information processing for an application which are relevant for the derivation of generic requirements for the s
19、tructuring of Application Layer communications. The architectural framework specified in this Recommendation I International Standard embodies concepts that may not be fully supported by existing Application Layer Recommendations and Standards. However, these concepts have been specified so as to pr
20、ovide a basis for the development of future Application Layer Recommendations and Standards which, it is anticipated, will require their use. This Recommendation I International Standard may be subject to future expansion, particularly with regard to multi-peer communication, security, application-c
21、ontext management, recovery, and Open Distributed Processing. A companion Technical Report, which is currently under development, will provide guidance on applying this Application Layer Structure during the creation of Application Layer service and protocol Recommendations and Standards. ii ITU-T R

23、ATION LAYER STRUCTURE 1 Scope This Recommendation I International Standard refines the description of the Application Layer contained in the Basic Reference Model for OS1 (ITU-T Rec. X.200 I ISO/IEC 7498-1). It provides a framework for coordinating the development of existing and future Application
24、Layer Recommendations and Standards. It is provided for reference by Application Layer Recommendations and Standards. In particular this Recommendation I International Standard: defines the nature of Recommendations and Standards in the Application Layer and the relationships among them; defines the
25、 architectural framework in which individual OS1 Application Layer protocols are developed. defines concepts which provide a flexible approach to structuring in the Application Layer; defines the categories of identifiable objects which are necessary for the specification and operation of relates di
26、stributed information processing activities to the Recommendations and Standards in the Application Layer; structures, and relates, specifications in Application Layer Recommendations and Standards; identifies the various kinds of specification necessary in Application Layer Recommendations and Stan
27、dards. protocols; This Recommendation I International Standard is provided for reference by Application Layer Recommendations and Standards. Its purpose is to facilitate a coherent and modular approach to the structuring of specifications for Application Layer behaviour. It neither specifies service
28、s nor protocols for OSI; nor is it an implementation specification for systems, nor a basis for appraising the conformance of implementations. 2 Normative references The following Recommendations and International Standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisi
