- Transport Service Bridge for OSI Network Applications
-
- The Transport Service Bridge (TSB) allows applications written to use WIN/ULS
- and running over one transport protocol (such as TCP/IP) to communicate with
- identical applications running over another transport protocol (such as the TP4
- provided with WIN/LLS)
-
- The TSB takes advantage of the flexible addressing scheme of the OSI protocols
- and through the use of RFC 1006, ``ISO Transport Services On Top of the TCP,''
- converts the addressing and lower-layer protocols (Transport, Network, Data
- Link, Physical) between OSI-based networks and TCP-based networks
-
- This flexible gateway could also be augmented to provide connectivity between
- American-style OSI networks using CLNS technology and European-style OSI
- networks using CONS (Connection-oriented Network Services) technology
-
- WIN/TSB is a member of the WIN/OSI product family which provides the
- functionality of the computer communication protocols defined by the
- International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
