[comp.lang.misc] What is TL-1?

igb@fulcrum.bt.co.uk (Ian G Batten) (02/21/91)

We have a reference for TL-1 in a specification, which we believe to be
a transaction processing language for OSI applications, but we can find
nothing out about it.  Is there an X serious spec or anything which
would tell us about it?

Mail me; I'll summarise if there's any interest.

We use TL1 (Transaction Lanquage 1) for T1 performance monitoring
at Verilink.  I think this is the same one specified, but not sure.

TL1 is a MML (Man Machine Language), but not necessarily friendly.
It is described in TA-TSY-000396 from Bell Communcations Research.
If you want to know everything you will need the OSTGR, which is
about 2 feet across and covers all telecommuncations devices.

Example

RTRV-T1:TID1:AID:CTAG::;

This will return about 16K of ascii data. Most commands return less
than 50 bytes.
