Review of Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Joint Australian/

New Zealand Standards are subject to periodic review and are kept up to date by the
issue of amendments or new editions as necessary. It is important therefore that
Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edition, and any
amendments thereto.
Full details of all Joint Standards and related publications will be found in the
Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand Catalogue of Publications; this
information is supplemented each month by the magazines ‘The Australian Standard’
and ‘Standards New Zealand’, which subscribing members receive, and which give
details of new publications, new editions and amendments, and of withdrawn
Standards.
Suggestions for improvements to Joint Standards, addressed to the head office of either
Standards Australia or Standards New Zealand, are welcomed. Notification of any
inaccuracy or ambiguity found in a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard should be
made without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action
taken.

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee on Information
Systems—Interconnection. It is identical with, and has been reproduced from, ISO/IEC 8880-3:1990, Information
technology—Telecommunications and information exchange between systems—Protocol combinations to provide
and support the OSI Network Service, Part 3: Provision and support of the connectionless-mode Network Service.

The Standard is one of a series of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Standards which are currently under
development. Since OSI Standards are developmental, there may be some minor difficulties encountered in their
implementation. For this reason, Standards Australia will be providing, through the OSI Help Desk, a service to
coordinate and disseminate information concerning difficulties which are identified in using this Standard.

Under arrangements made between Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand and the International Standards
bodies, ISO and IEC, as well as certain other Standards organizations, users of this Joint Standard are advised

of the following:

(a) In Australia, copyright is vested in Standards Australia. In New Zealand, copyright is vested in Standards
New Zealand.

(b) The number of this Standard is not reproduced on each page; its identity is shown only on the cover and title
pages.

For the purpose of this Joint Standard, the ISO/IEC text should be modified as follows:

(i) Terminology The words ‘Australian Standard’, ‘New Zealand Standard’ or ‘Joint Australian/New Zealand
Standard’ should replace the words ‘International Standard’ wherever they appear.

(ii) References The references to International Standards should be replaced by references to the following
Australian/New Zealand Standards:
