<br><br>NSAP Address Fields<br>Two NSAP Address fields exist: the initial domain part (IDP) and the domain-specific part (DSP). <br><br>The IDP field is divided into two parts: the authority format identifier (AFI) and the initial domain identifier (IDI). The AFI provides information about the structure and content of the IDI and DSP fields, such as whether the IDI is of variable length and whether the DSP uses decimal or binary notation. The IDI specifies the entity that can assign values to the DSP portion of the NSAP address. <br><br>The DSP is subdivided into four parts by the authority responsible for its administration. The Address Administration fields allow for the further administration of addressing <br>by adding a second authority identifier and by delegating address administration to subauthorities. The Area field identifies the specific area within a domain and is used for routing purposes. The Station field identifies a specific station within an area and also is used for routing purposes. The Selector field provides the specific n-selector within a station and, much like the other fields, is used for routing purposes. The reserved n-selector 00 identifies the address as a network entity title (NET). <br><br>End-System NSAPs<br>An OSI end system (ES) often has multiple NSAP addresses, one for each transport entity that it contains. If this is the case, the NSAP address for each transport entity usually differs only in the last byte (called the n-selector). Figure 30-3 illustrates the relationship between a transport entity, the NSAP, and the network service. <br><br><br> |
