CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 13818-6:02 (R2010)

This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 13818-6:1998 (first edition, 1998-09-01). 1.1 Scope The concepts and protocols of this part of ISO/IEC 138 18 (DSM-CC) provide the general capability to browse, select, download, and control a variety of bit stream types. DSM-CC also provides a mechanism to manage network and application resources through the concept of a Session, an associated collection of resources required to deliver a Service. The Session complements a "Service Domain", a collection of interfaces to browse and select services, and control the delivery of bit streams. DSM-CC defines the syntax and semantics for a set of User-to-Network and User-to-User protocols: - DSM-CC Message Header - U-N Configuration messages - U-N Session messages and flow diagrams for Session and Resource management - U-N Download messages - U-N Switched Digital Broadcast Channel Change Protocol - U-N Pass Thru messages - The transport of DSM-CC U-N messages using ISO/IEC 13818-1. - The transport of generic IP messages using DSM-CC sections and ISO/IEC 138 18- 1, clause 9 - U-U Remote Procedure Call - U-U Session interface - U-U Download interface - U-U Object Carousel interface - U-U Local Object interface - U-U Stream Descriptors
