Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the Inter-
national Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for
worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of IS0 or
IEC participate in the development of International Standards through
technical committees established by the respective organization to deal
with particular fields of technical activity. IS0 and IEC technical com-
mittees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organ-
izations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with IS0 and IEC,
also take part in the work.
In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint
technical committee, lSO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted
by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for vot-
ing. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least
75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO/IEC 10030 was prepared by Joint Technical
Committee lSO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 6,
Telecommunications and information exchange between systems.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition
(IS0 10030:1990), which has been technically revised. It is a consolidation
of Amendments 2 and 3 as well as Technical Corrigenda 1 and 2.
Annexes A and B form an integral part of this International Standard. An-
nex C is for information only.

llntroduction
This International Standard is one of a number of standards concerned with
Network Layer Routeing Protocolsl An overall framework for routeing is
described in ISOIIEC TR 9575. This international Standard specifically relates
to that part of the framework which deals with Single Subnetwork Routeing.
This International Standard is related to ISO/IEC 8878 which specifies the use
of X.25 to provide the IS0 connection-mode Network Service. This Protocol
provides solutions for the following practical problems:
a) How do End Systems discover the reachability of Intermediate Systems
that can route NPDUs to destinations on subnetworks other than the
one(s) to which the End System is directly connected?
b) How do End Systems discover the reachability of other End Systems on
the same subnetwork (when direct examination of the destination NSAP
address does not provide information about the destination subnetwork
address)?
c) How does a Subnetwork Address Resolution Entity discover the
reachability of End Systems on the subnetwork to which it is directly
connected?
d) How does an end System, which has not been pre-configured with its
own Network Address, request the temporary assignment of a Network
Entity Title (NET) and thus, derive the necessary Network Address(
from a SNARE located on a common subnetwork?
e) How do Intermediate systems discover the reachability of End Systems
on the same subnetwork (when direct examination of the NSAP
destination address does not provide information about the destination
subnetwork address)?
The Protocol assumes that:
a) Routeing to a specified subnetwork point of attachment (SNPA) address
on the same subnetwork is carried out satisfactorily by the subnetwork
itself.
b) The subnetwork is not, however, capable of routeing on a global basis
using the NSAP address alone to achieve communication with a
requested destination.
End Systems and Intermediate Systems us ing this protocol require to

b) minimize the amount of memory needed to store routeing information in End Systems; and
c) minimize the computational complexity of End Systems routeing algorithms.
This Protocol .performs similar functions to the ones specified in IS0 9542. However, the characteristics of
environments operating ISO/IEC 8208 (X.2WPLP) and the actual functionality of ISOAEC 8208 (X.2WLP) in itself
invalidate the operation of ISO. 9542 as follows:
a) In general non-broadcast environments, the Configuration subset of IS0 9542 is inadequate.
b) In broadcast environments operating ISOAEC 8208 (X.25/PLP), the Redirection subset of IS0 9542 is
invalidated.
Therefore, this Protocol is developed to perform all the aforementioned functions in harmony with the operation of
ISOAEC 8208 (X.25/PLP).
