[comp.protocols.iso] Requesting information on ISO transport protocols

drmiller@images.cs.und.ac.za (05/24/91)

Could anyone send me any information on public domain source code for the implementation
of any ISO (especially OSI model) standard dealing with transport layer protocols.
I want to use the connection-oriented mode of communication with an underlying
connectionless-oriented mode network layer. 

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi.  A full ISO stack implementation was done a few years ago at the
University of Wisconsin, sponsored by IBM.  This implementation
included CLNP.  IBM released the lower-layer code for inclusion in
BSD.  I think that the Berkeley BSD people modified the code further.
CLNP is supposed to be included in BSD 4.4.  Until 4.4 is out, you can
contact berkeley and ask for the BSD 4.3 zeno release, which contained
the Argo transport.  Sorry, I don't know the contact person or email
address, though it should not be hard to find.  (anyone, anyone? )

Hope this helps,

allan
