Summary
Publisher description : This book introduces the newcomer to Open Systems Interconnection (OSI), a set of universally-accepted standards that enable computer systems from different manufacturers to interconnect and to shareinformation more easily in an "open systems environment". It explains what OSI is all about in order to help readers develop their own applications using OSI. Helps readers understandthe OSI approach to specifying rules for computer communication (computer protocols).Discusses the seven-layer OSI reference model and related concepts, then goes on to consider each of the layers in turn, and ends with a discussion of the architecturally interesting features of a limited sample ofapplication layer protocols. Contains many examples and illustrations, especially from the areas of X.25, X.400, X.500 and the seven-layer model. Appropriate for practitioners in computing and business/information technology who wantto understand OSI as well as students taking courses in network management and data communications.
