Scope:

This document defines the protocol layer of the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interconnect and three transport protocols that use the SAS interconnect:

a) Serial SCSI Protocol (SSP): a mapping of SCSI supporting multiple initiators and targets;

b) Serial ATA Tunneled Protocol (STP): a mapping of Serial ATA expanded to support multiple initiators

and targets; and

c) Serial Management Protocol (SMP): a management protocol

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of the respective international standards being proposed for adoption. To maintain alignment between Canadian information and communication technology standards and each respective international standard.
