Information technology — Telecommunications and information exchange between systems — Formal description of ISO 8073 (Classes 0, 1, 2, 3) in LOTOS

Describes the classes 0 to 3 of the OSI transport protocol, defined in ISO 8073 using the formal description technique LOTOS, which is defined in ISO 8807. Transport protocol class 4 and NMCS are not covered. In view of complexity and widespread use of OSI standards it is imperative to have precise and unambiguous definitions of these standards. Formal Description Techniques form an effective approach to providing such definitions. Annexes A and B give definitions relating to the Transport and Network Services, Annex C gives an interpretation of ISO 8073, Annexes E and F include indices of process and type definitions.

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the Inter-
national Electrotechnical Commission) together form the specialized system
for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of IS0 or
IEC participate in the development of International Standards through tech-
nical committees established by the respective organization to deal with
particular fields of technical activity. IS0 and IEC technical committees col-
laborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations,
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.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards,
but in exceptional circumstances a technical committee may propose the
publication of a Technical Report of one of the following types:
when the required support cannot be obtained for the
- type 1,
publication of an International Standard, despite repeated efforts;
- type 2, when the subject is still under technical development or where
for any other reason there is the future but not immediate possibility of
an agreement on an International Standard;
- type 3, when a technical committee has collected data of a different
kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard
(‘state of the art’, for example).
Technical reports of types 1 and 2 are subject to review within three years
of publication, to decide whether they can be transformed into International
Standards. Technical reports of type 3 do not necessarily have to be re-
viewed until the data they provide are considered to be no longer valid or
useful.
lSO/IEC TR 10024, which is a technical report of type 2, was prepared by
Joint Technical Committee lSO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology.
Annexes A, B and C form an integral part of this Technical Report. Annexes
D, E and F are for information only.

Introduction
In view of the complexity and widespread use of Open Systems Intercon-
nection standards it is imperative to have precise and unambiguous
definitions of these standards. Formal Description Techniques form an ef-
fective approach to providing such definitions. The use of Formal
Description Techniques in this area, however, is relatively new, and their ap-
plication on a wide scale requires an appropriate habituation period. Formal
descriptions should be introduced gradually in standards if initially the
number of National Bodies that are able to contribute to their development
is too small, thus allowing time to gain experience an to develop education
material.
Within lSO/IEC JTC l/SC 6 an ad-hoc group for the formal description in
LOTOS of the Transport Standards, viz. the Transport Service IS0 8072
and the Transport Protocol IS0 8073, was established in October 1985. The
Formal Description Technique LOTOS, defined in IS0 8807, was still under
development at that time within IS0 TC 97/SC 21. Following the position of
a majority of National Bodies, SC6 decided in January 1988 to progress both
formal descriptions as Type 2 Technical Reports. The main reason for not
incorporating them into the standards was that National Bodies expressed
their current lack of expertise on the subject of Formal Description Tech-
niques. It seemed therefore appropriate to let a period of time pass, during
which the formal descriptions can be read and compared with the standards,
and after which the status of the formal descriptions can be re-evaluated.
The purpose of this Technical Report is to provide a complete, consistent
and unambiguous description of classes 0,1,2 and 3 of IS0 8073. It forms
therefore a companion document to IS0 8073. This Technical Report has
successfully passed correctness and completeness tests with respect to
syntax and static semantics, according to the requirements of clause 3 of
IS0 8807. Tools are available that provide interactive simulation facilities, so
that confidence can be gained about the correctness of the description with
respect to the dynamic semantics (e.g. deadlock-freedom), and about its
correctness and completeness with respect to representation of intended
behaviour requirements. These tools are still at the stage of prototypes,
however.
This Technical Report contains the description of classes 0,1,2,3. Class 4
and NCMS are not yet included. This is due to the limited amount of resourc-
es allocated in JTC l/SC 6 to the work on formal descriptions.
Significant contributions for the application of LOTOS in this work have been
provided by Universities and research laboratories.

and to response service primitives, and the term ‘Indication’ refers both to indication and to confirm service primitives.
Parentheses are omitted in this specification in the following cases, where their removal is allowed by IS0 8807:
a) In expressions where, due to the fact that binary infix operators associate to the left, no ambiguity arises from removal of
parentheses (subclause 6.2.8 of IS0 8807). Thus, for example, the expression ‘(x gt 0) and (y It 5)’ is specified as ‘x gt 0 and
(y/t 5)‘.
b) In expressions where, due to the priority of LOTOS behavioural operators, no ambiguity arises from removal of parenthe-

The LOTOS standard allows the use of explicit sort specification for simple-expression using the ‘ofsort’ terms. Such ‘ofsort’ terms
are present in the specification only in those cases where their absence would give rise to ambiguity.
6 Requirements
This Technical Report complies with the requirements defined by clause 3 of IS0 8807.
No conformity requirements are defined by this Technical Report, but the conformance requirements defined by IS0 8073 are rep-
resented formally in LOTOS.
7 Introduction of the formal description
The present specification is designed on basis of two major requirements, which together provide the appropriate framework for
the formal representation of the transport protocol architecture by way of a formal specification of a generic transport protocol en-
tity:
a) the formal specification is to be provably consistent with the formal description in LOTOS of the OSI connection-oriented
transport service IS0 8072 (TS FD for short, that is available in IS0 TR 10023), assuming a correct formal description in
LOTOS of the OSI connection-oriented network service IS0 8348 (NS FD for short),
b) the specification applies to any transport protocol entity which is claimed to comply with the requirements defined in the
conformance clause of the protocol.
Figure 1 shows the resulting structure of the specification.
A formal data type is provided for the implementor’s declaration of classes and options that are defined in the conformance clause
of the protocol. Such a declaration is formally represented by a parameter of the specification. A boolean-valued function can be
applied to the value of this parameter, that determines whether or not the value satisfies the static conformance requirements of
the protocol (see clause 9).
Only if the static conformance requirements are satisfied, does the specification describe active behaviour, viz. it provides the im-
plementor or tester with an abstract model of the protocol dynamic conformance requirements (see clause IO)

ISO/IEC TR 10024 : 1992(E)
The t (resp. n) gate represents the transport (resp. network) service boundary accessed by the entity. It models the totality of
TSAPs (resp. NSAPs) at which the entity interacts with the TS user (resp. NS provider). Each TSAP (resp. NSAP) is uniquely iden-
tified by a TSAP address (resp. NSAP address) out of the set tas (resp. nas).
Proper co-operation between session and transport entities (and transport and network entities, resp.), within one open system, is
ensured by assigning the same tas to the session and transport entities (and the same nas to the transport and network entities,
resp.) residing in the same open system. This implies that a transport entity cannot co-operate with a session entity if they reside
in different open systems.
The event structure at gate f consists of a triple of values, resp. of sorts TAddress, TCH, TSP (see clause 8). The first value iden-
tifies the TSAP where the interaction occurs. The second value identifies the TCEP, within that TSAP, where the interaction occurs.
The third value is the Transport Service Primitive (TSP) executed in the interaction. A similar structure is shown by events at gaten.
These event structures are the same as in the respective service formal descriptions, with the exception that this Technical Report
describes a more refined, non-atomic execution of T-DATA primitives. This is required by correctness and generality of represen-
tation of the requirements relating to segmenting and flow control procedures. Clearly, also the data type definition of TSPs needed
corresponding refinements: the definition presented in this Technical Report is a conservative extension of the definition found in
the formal description in LOTOS of the transport service.
Full account is taken of the multiplicity aspects of the protocol. The behaviour of a never terminating transport entity is described.
According to the definition of process TpEnMy (see clause IO), some of the component processes describe constraints that apply
to, and depend upon, the behaviour of the protocol entity at only one of the two service boundaries. This class of constraints will
be referred to as ‘service constraints’ (see clause 1 I), whilst the term ‘protocol constraints’ will refer to those which are described
by the other components (see clause 12).
The service constraints ensure, for instance, that the address component of an interaction at t (resp. n) is a member of the set tas
(resp. nas), that the identification of a connection by means of a connection endpoint identifier is unique within the scope of any
given address, that the entity is ready to accept and support at least one TC and at least one NC, and so on.
The further decomposition of the protocol constraints exploits the usage of internal gates. Notice that, according to the formal se-
mantics of LOTOS, the presence of internal gates in the specification by no way constrains the internal structure of any
implementation, inasmuch as the specification requirements apply to the behaviour observable at service access points only.
The introduction of these internal gates and the definition of the event structures (see 14) enable a clear separation
of concerns between:
a) independent constraints on the provision of TCs (see clause 15, clause 16, clause 18, clause 20 through clause 24, clause
33 through clause
36, clause 39, clause 40),
b) independent constraints on the usage of NCs (see clause 17, clause 32, clause 37, clause 38),
c) dependencies between provision of TCs and usage of NCs, such as those relating to assignment of TCs to NCs (see clause
25), error recovery procedures (see clause 26 through clause 30), and association of TPDUs to TCs (see clause 31).
A distinction is made between the definition of abstract TPDU structures(see clause 19), where abstraction is made from the TPDU
information that relates to TC identification, encoding, and encoded TPDUs, which are octet strings where all of the TPDU infor-
mation is fully specified (see clause 40).
Some auxiliary definitions are finally presented (see clause 41), which do not directly represent constraints found in the protocol,
but are frequently employed in the preceding formal definitions. Processes that have a name beginning with Run are all defined in
clause 41.
Except for the definitions of the specification parameter types, definitions shared with the TS FD, IS0 TR 10023, and sharable with
a NS FD are presented in Annex A and Annex 6 respectively. The data types referred to in the library construct are imported from
the LOTOS library of data types.

Two of the three specification parameters (see clause 7) have simple structures: finite sets of addresses and are presented in 8.2.

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
ISO/IEC TR 10024 : 1992(E)
The options parameter contains the description of the optional procedures and their parameters, viz. supported classes, supported
roles (M&or or responder), maximum TPDUsize for each supported class and the optional procedures listed in table 9 of the
protocol.
It has a slightly more complicated structure, which can be summarized as follows: a value of sort TPEOptions is a 4tuple (see 8.3),
where the components correspond to the requirements mentioned in subclause 14.6 of the protocol. The component structures
are respectively described in 8.3.1 through 8.3.4.
82 . Address sets
Although some these definitions below are shared with the TS FD or can be shared with the NS FD, these definitions are presented
here, instead of in clause A.2, resp clause B.2, to allow description of the specification parameters.

function h, that maps classes to natural numbers, C/asses defines finite sets of protocol classes, enriched with the function High-
erC/asses which yields the set of classes higher than a given class. This function is made use of in the description of class
negotiation (see 20.2.2).

DUSize, which yields the corresponding natural number, and AkxTPDUSizeFor, which yields the maximum TPDU size defined by
the protocol for each class (see subclause 13.3.4.b of the protocol). Equality and order of the constants are respectively specified
by means of equality and order of their corresponding TPDUSize value.
Max-TPDUSizes defines sets of MaxTPDUSize values, and the boolean functions Maxln, which tells whether a given AkxFW-
Size value is the maximum in a given set of such values, and Maximal, which tells whether a given set of AkxTpDusize values
contains all the values lower than or equal to the maximum value that it contains.
MaxTPDUSizelnClass defines pairs < MaxTPDUSize x C/ass > (see 8.4 for the definition of the generic type Pair). BasicMaxTP-
DUSizeMap defines sets of these pairs as values of sort MaxTPDUSizeMap.
In fact, a value of sort MaxTPDUSizeMap can be viewed as a binary relation between MaxTPDUSize and C/ass: in this view, the
type MaxTPDUSizeMap endows the basic type with the functions C/asses, which yields the range of the argument relation, and
MaxTPDUSizesOf which, for given class and relation, yields the subset of the domain of the given relation characterized by the
given class.

natural number value (128, in this case) is obtained by ap
