isode-7.0.tar.Z - Package description:
The ISODE (pronounced I-SO-D-E), or ISO Development Environment, is
a collection of library routines and programs that implements an
extensive set of OSI upper-layer services. The ISODE
implementation of the upper-layers of OSI is interesting in four
respects:
- it provides extensive automatic tools for the development of
OSI applications;
- it supports OSI applications on top of both OSI and TCP/IP-based
networks;
- it provides a novel approach to the problems of OSI coexistence
with and transition from the Internet suite of protocols; and,
- it is openly available (non-proprietary).
The ISODE was originally developed in 1986 at the Northrop Research
and Technology Center as a means to experiment with OSI
applications. Current support for the ISODE comes from Performance
Systems International (PSI) and partially from the U.S. ~Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
- Current modules include:
OSI transport service (TP0 on top of TCP, X.25 and CONS; TP4
for SunLink OSI)
OSI session, presentation, and association control services
ASN.1 abstract syntax/transfer notation tools, including:
remote operations stub-generator (front-end for remote operations)
structure-generator (ASN.1 to C)
element-parser (basic encoding rules)
OSI reliable transfer and remote operations services
OSI directory services
OSI file transfer, access and management
FTAM/FTP gateway
OSI virtual terminal (basic class, TELNET profile)
- ISODE 7.0 consists of final "IS" level implementations with the
exception of VT which is a DIS implementation. The ISODE also
contains implementations of the 1984 X.400 versions of ROS and RTS.
- Although the ISODE is not "supported" per se, it does have a problem
reporting address, Bug-ISODE@XTEL.CO.UK. Bug reports (and fixes) are
welcome by the way.
- The discussion group ISODE@NISC.SRI.COM is used as an open forum on ISODE.
Contact ISODE-Request@NISC.SRI.COM to be added to this list.
- The primary documentation for this release consists of a five volume
User's Manual (approx. 1000 pages) and a set of UNIX manual pages. The
sources to the User's Manual are in LaTeX format. In addition, there are
a number of notes, papers, and presentations included in the documentation
set, again in either LaTeX or SLiTeX format. If you do not have LaTeX, you
should probably get a hardcopy from one of the distribution sites below.
