[comp.protocols.iso] MAP .vs. TOP

lawyer@IDA.ORG (Steve Lawyer) (03/05/91)

Fred Halsall in "Data Communications, Computer Networks, and OSI" comments
that the overhead of the full 7 layer model is significant for MAP, but,
makes no further comparison in the subsequent discussion of TOP.

Could someone offer me some insight, as to why the overhead would be 
significant or an issue for MAP, but not for TOP?

thanks,

steve
