        !             3: Issues in Transition and Coexistence for TCP/IP to OSI  (1/2 day)
        !             4: 
        !             5: Dr. Marshall T. Rose

        !             7: 
        !             8: Overview
        !             9: 
        !            10:      The U.S. DoD Internet suite of protocols (commonly known as TCP/IP)
        !            11:      is the de facto open (non-proprietary) standard for
        !            12:      computer-communications in multi-vendor and multi-administration
        !            13:      networks.  TCP/IP has enjoyed unprecedented success as the open
        !            14:      systems solution of choice for inter-connecting networks and hosts.
        !            15:      However based on international cooperative work, it is commonly
        !            16:      acknowledged that protocols based on the Open Systems
        !            17:      Interconnection (OSI) model and promulgated by the International
        !            18:      Organization for Standardization (ISO) will eventually achieve
        !            19:      dominance and enjoy even greater success than TCP/IP.
        !            20: 
        !            21:      Although previously an "academic" problem, the widespread
        !            22:      investment in TCP/IP-based systems has made practical solutions to
        !            23:      transition and coexistence an overwhelming concern:  organizations
        !            24:      using TCP/IP protocols today will be less willing to adopt OSI
        !            25:      protocols tomorrow unless interruption of production facilities is
        !            26:      minimized and the underlying investment is protected.
        !            27: 
        !            28: 
        !            29: What You Will Learn
        !            30: 
        !            31:      You will achieve a thorough understanding of the technology
        !            32:      involved when interconnecting TCP/IP-based systems to OSI-based
        !            33:      systems.

        !            37: 
        !            38:      - Motivation: the need for transition and coexistence
        !            39: 
        !            40:      - Background: concepts, terminology, and metrics of comparison
        !            41: 
        !            42:      - Protocol-based approaches: dual-stacks, application gateways, and
        !            43:        transport gateways; discussion of existing implementations
        !            44: 
        !            45:      - Re-defining the problem: understanding the difference between
        !            46:        transition and coexistence
        !            47: 
        !            48:      - Service-based approaches: transport-service bridges, and network
        !            49:        tunnels; discussion of existing and planned implementations
        !            50: 
        !            51:      - Examples: scenarios for different environments; the DoD OSI

        !            56: 
        !            57:      This tutorial is intended for professionals interested in planning,
        !            58:      implementing, or managing environments containing both TCP/IP and
        !            59:      OSI implementations.  Although detailed knowledge of neither TCP/IP
        !            60:      nor OSI is required, basic familiarity with both protocols suites
        !            61:      is assumed.  No knowledge of protocol translation issues is
        !            62:      required.

        !            71:      the OSI protocol suite.  He was co-author of RFC1006 (ISO Transport
        !            72:      Services on top of the TCP), and was a member of the IFIP working

        !            74:      and RFC822).  He is currently an advisor to the National Science
        !            75:      Foundation, serving on its Network Technical Advisory Group.  He is
        !            76:      also an adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Delaware.
