Information technology — Telecommunications and information exchange between systems — Protocol for exchange of inter-domain routeing information among intermediate systems to support forwarding of ISO 8473 PDUs

Specifies a protocol to be used by boundary intermediate systems to acquire and maintain information for the purpose of routeing NPDUs between different routeing domains. Lays down the procedures for the exchange of inter-domain reachability and path information between BISs, the procedures for maintaining inter-domain routeing information bases within a BIS, the encoding of protocol data units used to distribute inter-domain routeing information between BISs, the functional requirements for implementations that claim conformance to this standard. The protocol described operates at the level of individual routeing domains. Does not cover the establishment of administrative domains.

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 commit-
tees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organiza-
tions, 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 10747 was prepared by Joint Technical
Committee lSO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 6,
Telecommunications and information exchange between systems.
Annexes A and B form an integral part of this International Standard. An-
nexes C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K and L are for information only.

Network Service Access Point IDRP relies on the underlying Network service to
provide for fragmentation and reassembly of
Subnetwork Point of Attachment
BISPDUs. IDRP queues Outbound BISPDUs as input
to the underlying Network Layer service, retaining a
copy of each BISPDU until an acknowledgement is
received. Similarly, inbound BlSPDUs are queued as

input to the BISPDU-Receive process.
