Uh? What? Wrong.
ISO standards specify gobs of protocols. Where do you want to
start?
ISO Transport Protocol (ISO 8073)
ISO Session Protocol (ISO 8327)
ISO Presentation Protocol (ISO 8823)
ISO File Transfer, Access, and Management (ISO 8571)
These are four. I've got over fifty sitting back in my office, and
I'm a very selective reader!
It makes a great deal of sense to talk about the ISO protocol suite
vs. the TCP/IP protocol suite. Although they both have layered
architectures, they cut up the cake differently. Further, the
protocols they use diverge significantly once you start climbing to
the higher layers.
