[comp.protocols.iso] Question on use of ASN.1 BIT STRING type

pd@cbnewsl.att.com (patricia.a.dunkin) (01/09/91)

When using ASN.1 BIT STRINGs, is it a good idea for an application to
add parity bits, checksums, or other ways to check data integrity?  Does
it matter if the application is using a short stack that omits some of
the inner layers? Information about real experiences would be especially
welcome.

Thanks,
