XcmCommsStackExtPurpose

  • Base type Enumeration

A relatively generic description of the current purpose of this stack layer/sublayer during normal operation. Usage: Please note that 'layerInterWorkingUnit' would correctly describe: a datalink MAC sublayer bridge (eg, IEEE 802.1D); a network layer relay (X.25 backbone switch); a network layer gateway (eg, X.25 <--> Telex IWU); or a transport layer gateway (eg, OSI COTP over X.25 <--> OSI COTP over OSI CLNP). Also note that 'systemInterWorkingUnit' would correctly describe an application layer gateway (eg, X/Open XDPA <--> Novell NDPS, for print services based on DPA, ISO 10175).
