SNA and OSI: three strategies for interconnection

Published: 01 February 1990 Publication History

Abstract

The rise of the Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model (OSI) in the past five years is forcing IBM to rethink its plans for its proprietary network standard Systems Network Architecture (SNA). This article reviews three interconnection strategies to be considered.
