1.1 ! root 1: [ READ-ME - Sun May 14 21:02:01 1989 - ISODE TSB notes - /mtr ] ! 2: ! 3: ! 4: This program is used as a bridge for the OSI transport service. It ! 5: is solves internetworking problems--if an application uses the OSI ! 6: transport service and runs in multiple environments (TP0/X.25, ! 7: TP4/CLNP, RFC1006/TCP), then the TSB can be used to achieve ! 8: interworking between instances of the application running in ! 9: different networks. ! 10: ! 11: For example, suppose you have a TCP/IP-based LAN. Some of the hosts ! 12: on this LAN run RFC1006 and OSI applications on top of that. One of ! 13: the hosts is connected to an X.25 network. Normally, only the host ! 14: with the X.25 connection would be able to talk to hosts on the X.25 ! 15: net, and vice-versa. If the dual-homed host runs a TSB, then hosts ! 16: on the LAN running RFC1006 can talk to "pure" OSI hosts on the X.25 ! 17: network, and vice-versa.
