CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC-10612-2-96 (R2009)

The international community has decided to make this standard available only in the English language version. It has been adopted as a National Standard of Canada on this basis. This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC ISP 10612-2:1995. 1 Scope ISO/IEC ISP 10612 is applicable to interworking units concerned with operating in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Local Area Network environment. It specifies a combination of OSI standards that collectively provide a MAC relay function. This part of ISO/IEC ISP 10612 specifies requirements dependent on the type of subnetwork and applicable to an interworking unit which is attached to an ISO/IEC 8802-3 CSMA/CD LAN subnetwork and relaying to another subnetwork not necessarily of the same type.
