Chapter 8 Management Network Connectivity
TCP/IP and OSI Networking
CLNP uses network service access points (NSAPs) to identify network devices. The CLNP source and
destination addresses are NSAPs. In addition, CLNP uses a network element title (NET) to identify a
network-entity in an end system (ES) or intermediate system (IS). NETs are allocated from the same
name space as NSAP addresses. Whether an address is an NSAP address or a NET depends on the
network selector value in the NSAP.
The ONS 15310-MA SDH support the ISO Data Country Code (ISO-DCC) NSAP address format as
specified in ISO 8348. The NSAP address is divided into an initial domain part (IDP) and a
domain-specific part (DSP). NSAP fields are shown in Table 8-8. NSAP field values are in hexadecimal
format. All NSAPs are editable and shorter NSAPs can be used; however, NSAPs for all NEs residing
within the same OSI network area usually have the same NSAP format.
