Telemetry Standards, IRIG Standard 106-23: Chapter 22: Network-Based Protocol Suite
Abstract:
The Telemetry Network Standard (TmNS) leverages existing standardized Internet protocols to serve as the core set of communication protocols used by NetworkNodes within a TmNS Network. The TmNSs network-based protocol suite incorporates a large portion of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/Internet Protocol (IP) Protocol Suite (also known as the Internet Protocol Suite) along with other supporting technologies (e.g., underlying data link and physical layer technologies). Figure 22-1 illustrates the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Model, the corresponding TCP/IP Model, and the major components of the TCP/IP Protocol Suite. This document follows the TCP/IP Model layering convention and consists of the following major sections. Network Access Layer: Consists of the Physical and Data Link layers that define the underlying hardware networking technology. The networking scope of this layer is limited to the local network connection. Internet Layer Protocols: Responsible for sending datagrams across potentially multiple networks. Internetworking (i.e., routing) requires sending data from the source network to the destination network. Transport Layer Protocols: Establishes a basic data channel that an application uses to exchange data. Application Layer Protocols: Includes protocols used by applications for exchanging application data over the network connections established by the lower-level protocol. Basic network support services are also included (e.g., routing and host configuration protocols).
