SPIRIT Component Set Specifications

This section describes SPIRIT component sets for management and communications services.

SPIRIT Management Component Sets

SPIRIT Management component sets are already specified in Part 4, Distributed Systems Management. Therefore, only references to them are described here.

The following five component sets are defined in Part 4, Distributed Systems Management:

SPIRIT Communications Component Sets

General Description

SPIRIT Communications component sets are defined as sets of consistent combinations of the protocols specified in Part 1, Overview and Core Specifications and Part 4, Distributed Systems Management. According to the internationally recognised profiles defined by ISO/IEC JTC1/SGFS, IETF and other bodies, the Communications component sets are grouped as follows:

OSI Application Layer Component Sets

Component sets consisting of OSI Session Layer (Layer 5) protocols and above.

Internet Application Layer Component Sets

Component sets consisting of Internet Application Layer (Layers 5 to 7) protocols.

OSI Transport and Lower Layer Component Sets

Component sets consisting of OSI Transport Layer (Layer 4) protocols or below.

Internet Transport and Lower Layer Component Sets

Component sets consisting of Internet Transport Layer (Layer 4) protocols or below.

DCE Component Set

Component set consisting of DCE Application Layer (Layers 5 to 7) protocols.

Except for the DCE component set, these component sets are refined as follows:

  1. OSI Application Layer component sets contain:

  2. Internet Application Layer component sets contain:

  3. OSI Transport and Lower Layer component sets contain:

  4. Internet Transport and Lower Layer component sets contain:

The details of these component sets are given in later sections.

Principles

Protocols defined in SPIRIT Issue 3.0 are generally categorised into OSI, Internet and DCE, according to the base architecture, as described in General Description . When defining SPIRIT Communications component sets, this categorisation and the following principles are adopted:

Principle 1

Follow internationally recognised standards as much as possible.

Principle 2

For a component set not covered by the above standards, define a new consistent set of protocols and APIs; that is, MHS, Directory, Transaction Processing and Frame Relay component sets.

Principle 3

Define component sets for only the Transport and Lower Layer protocols and the Application Layer. Exclude the information exchange format profile and relay profiles from communication component sets.

Principle 4

Include APIs for communication services as optional components.

Requirements

SPIRIT Communications component sets defined in the following sections must meet the following requirements.

Requirements on Application Layer Component Sets
Requirements on Transport and Lower Layer Component Sets

These requirements are summarised in Possible Combinations of Component Sets and the following table.

    2. ISDN Component Set

    3. Frame Relay Component Set

      The Frame Relay component set defines protocols to be supported when connecting Frame Relay. Since there are no relevant ISPs at present, a new set of protocols is defined by selecting possible consistent combinations.

      According to RFC 1490, both CONS packets (ISO/IEC 8208) and CLNS packets (ISO/IEC 8473) can be transferred over a Frame relay. However, only the CLNS packet type is defined in this proposal because of its expected use.

    Internet Transport and Lower Layer Component Sets

    For Internet Transport and Lower Layer protocols, the protocols used are dependent on the subnetwork types and host/gateway types. Therefore, the Internet Transport and Lower Layer component sets are categorised by those types. Also, common protocols used in more than one component set are grouped to form a common component set. The relationship between component sets is shown in Structure of Internet Transport and Lower Layer Component Sets .

    Figure: Structure of Internet Transport and Lower Layer Component Sets

    1. Common Component Set

      The following Common component set is used in all subnetwork types and host/gateway types.

      Category Description Reference Support
      Protocol Transport Protocol (UDP) PRO/TLL-6  M
      (*2) (*3) Network Protocol (IP, ICMP) PRO/TLL-7  M
      (*4) IP subnet extension PRO/TLL-8  M
        IP broadcasting datagrams PRO/TLL-9  M
        ARP PRO/TLL-11  M
        Addressing (RFC 1340) ADM-1  M
        IGMP (RFC 1112) (*1) PRO/TLL-10  O
        RARP (RFC 903) (*1) PRO/TLL-11  O
      API None. - -

      Notes

      (*1)
      Since the following protocols are optionally used in all subnetwork types and host/gateway types, they are shown as such in the component set:

      IGMP
      Internet Group Management Protocol

      RARP
      Reverse Address Resolution Protocol

      (*2)
      For the host type, the following protocols are supported depending on the condition described in the Support column:

      Category Description Reference Support
      Protocol RFC 1122 (Host) PROF-9  M
        Transport Protocol (TCP) PRO/TLL-6  M
        ISO TP 0 over TCP (RFC 1006) PRO/TLL-12  O
      API XTI API/COM-1  O

      PRO/TLL-12 (RFC 1006) is used under the following circumstances:

      • use of OSI Application Layer component sets over TCP/IP network

      • OSI Application Layer component sets use of the transport services equivalent to TD profile.

      (*3)
      For the gateway type, the following protocols are supported depending on the condition described in the Support column:

      Category Description Reference Support
      Protocol RFC 1009 (Gateway) PROF-9  M
        Routing Protocols (RIP, EGP, OSPF) PRO/TLL-13  M

      (*4)
      When Network and System Management component set (SNMP) is used as an Internet Application Layer component set, protocols described in (*2) and (*3) are not required.

      The following Internet Transport and Lower Layer component sets are defined depending on the subnetwork types. For all of these component sets, the Common component set is required.
