It allows OR-address plans, MTA interconnection topology and the management structures applied to MHS
9、to be dealt with independently of each other whilst remaining within a coordinated framework. Source The ITU-T Recommendation X.404 was approved on the 18th of June 1999. The identical text is also published as ISO/IEC Technical Report 1002 1- 1 1. ITU-T Rec. X.404 (1999 E) i FOREWORD ITU (Internati
10、onal Telecommunication Union) is the United Nations Specialized Agency in the field of telecommuni- cations. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU. The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommend
11、ations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the -T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The
12、 approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with IS0 and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendati
13、on, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS The ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of
14、 a claimed Intellectual Property Right. The ITU takes no position 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
15、, the ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database. Ali ri

36、open systems environment. ITU-T Rec. X.412 I ISO/iEC 10021-10 defines a method for routing messages through the Message Handling System (MHS). This Recommendation I Technical Report provides guidance for Configuring MTS Routing using the Directory, and suggests the characteristics of a Directory Use
37、r Agent for managing that process. It allows OR-address plans, MTA interconnection topology and the management structures applied to MHS to be dealt with independently of each other whilst remaining within a Co-ordinated framework. vi ITU-T REX.

39、cts of an MHS system may configure information into the directory for MTAs to use to determine the routing of messages. IT-T Rec. X.412 I ISOIIEC 10021-10 provides a set of directory structures that may be configured in many different ways to support a particular MHS routing strategy. In order to il
40、lustrate the use of these directory structures, this document contains advice on how an MHS Administrator might organize the configuration of directory trees and entries in the directory. In particular, it contains suggestions on the following: The types, construction and location of different OR-ad
41、dress subtrees that may be needed; The location of routing collective and MTA entries in the directory. - - Other ways of using the routing capabilities specified in ITU-T Rec. X.412 I ISO/iEC 10021-10 are also valid. Other Recommendations I International Standards define other aspects of the MHS. I
42、TU-T Rec. F.400BC.400 I ISO/IEC 10021-1 defines the user-oriented services provided by the MHS. ITU-T Rec. X.402 I ISO/IEC 10021-2 provides an architecturai overview of the MHS. ITU-T Rec. X.411 I ISO/IEC 10021-4 defines the abstract-service of the Message Transfer System. ITU-T Rec. X.412 I ISO/IEC
43、 10021-10 defines MHS Routing using the directory. 2 Normative References The following Recommendations and International Standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation I Technical Report.
