ITU-T X.228 PDF

Scope and Field of Application

This Recommendation specifies the protocol (abstract syntax) and procedures for the Reliable Transfer Service Element services (Recommendation X.218). The RTSE services are provided in conjunction with the Association Control Service Element (ACSE) services (Recommendation X.217) and the ACSE protocol (Recommendation X.227), and the presentation-service (Recommendation X.216).

The RTSE procedures are defined in terms of:

a) the interactions between peer RTSE protocol machines through the use of ACSE and the presentationservice.

b) the interactions between the RTSE protocol machine and its service-user.

This Recommendation specifies conformance requirements for systems implementing these procedures.
