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.
