Interworking Standards

The Networking Services (XNS), Issue 5.2 specification defines the industry-standard open systems interfaces to communication services, including IPv6.

The Transport Provider Interface (TPI) Standard defines an interface for drivers that provide transport services in a networking environment.

The Data Link Provider Interface (DLPI) Standard defines a STREAMS kernel-level instantiation of the ISO Data Link Service Definition DIS 8886 and Logical Link Control DIS 8802/2 (LLC).

This standard is based on the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Application Programming Interface (API) for the Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP).

The Open Group XNFS offers a complete solution to transparent file access between open system-compliant systems, through the XNFS protocols for interoperability, and The Open Group XSI interfaces for application/user portability (as identified in several XNFS appendixes).

The Networking Services (XNS), Issue 5 specification describes the industry-standard open systems interfaces to communication services.

This document contains the Technical Standards of both the X/Open Transport Interface (XTI) and X/Open Sockets Interface.

This specification defines protocols that have been adopted by X/Open as the means of interoperability between personal computers (PCs) and X/Open-compliant systems.
