ISO IEC ISP 10613-1-1994 PDF

Full title and description

Information technology — International Standardized Profile RA — Relaying the Connectionless‑mode Network Service — Part 1: Subnetwork‑independent requirements. This International Standardized Profile (ISP) specifies a set of OSI base standards and requirements for interworking units that provide a network relay function for the connectionless‑mode network service, regardless of the type of subnetwork to which they are attached.

Abstract

This ISP applies to interworking units operating in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) environment. It identifies the combination of OSI base standards and mandatory/optional requirements that together enable a relay for the connectionless‑mode network service, and in Part 1 specifies the subnetwork‑independent requirements applicable to such interworking units.

Scope

Specifies requirements for interworking units that perform relaying of the connectionless‑mode network service in OSI systems in a subnetwork‑independent manner — i.e., requirements that apply regardless of the physical or data‑link subnetworks used. It identifies required behaviors, protocol combinations and interfaces needed to achieve consistent relaying functionality across diverse subnetworks.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of the relaying function for the connectionless‑mode network service in the OSI model.
• Mandatory and optional combinations of OSI base standards required for network relay behavior.
• Subnetwork‑independent service requirements (addressing, forwarding, error handling, diagnostics) for interworking units.
• Interface and interworking constraints to ensure consistent behavior across heterogeneous subnetworks.
• Reference optional security requirements introduced by later amendments (e.g., Amendment 2: 1998) for certain profiles.

Typical use and users

Intended for standards implementers, equipment vendors and system integrators building OSI‑based interworking units or relays, and for technical committees or architects designing multi‑subnetwork interconnection services. Also used by test laboratories and procurement teams who need precise functional and interoperability requirements for connectionless‑mode relays.

Related standards

Part of the ISP 10613 family (other parts address LAN, CSMA/CD LAN, PSDN and other subnetwork‑dependent requirements — e.g., ISO/IEC ISP 10613‑2:1994, ISO/IEC ISP 10613‑3:1994, etc.). The standard has associated amendments (for example ISO/IEC ISP 10613‑1:1994/Amd 2:1998) and has been incorporated into or ratified as regional EN/ISP publications in some member bodies.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO/IEC ISP 10613‑1:1994 is an International Standardized Profile (RA) that defines subnetwork‑independent requirements for relaying the connectionless‑mode network service in OSI environments.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the required combinations of OSI base standards and the functional requirements (forwarding, addressing, error handling, diagnostics, etc.) that interworking units must implement to provide a consistent connectionless‑mode relay service independent of the underlying subnetworks. Later amendments add optional security reference profiles.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Vendors of network interworking hardware/software, systems integrators, interoperability test labs, and standards committees / architects working on OSI relay and interworking functions.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: This ISP is listed as withdrawn in ISO catalogues. National and regional adoptions based on it may also have been withdrawn or superseded; check the relevant national/regional standards body for adoption and withdrawal dates (ISO records show the 1994 publication and withdrawal status; some catalogues note withdrawal actions with dates such as 19 May 2009 for certain catalogues).

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO/IEC ISP 10613 is a multi‑part profile series; Part 1 is the subnetwork‑independent part and other numbered parts (for example Parts 2, 3, 7, etc.) cover various subnetwork‑dependent or media‑dependent requirements.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Connectionless‑mode, relay, interworking unit, OSI, subnetwork‑independent, ISP RA, protocol interworking.
