Network Working Group ANSI Request for Comments: 982 April 1986 Guidelines for the Specification of the Structure of the Domain Specific Part (DSP) of the ISO Standard NSAP Address ANSI Working Document X3S3.3/85-258 Status of This Memo The following is a RFC edition of the ANSI "Guidelines for the Specification of the Structure of the Domain Specific Part (DSP) of the ISO Standard NSAP Address". It should be understood that this ANSI working document is in a draft state and subject to change. These Guidelines are an important prerequirement to allow IP addressing within the ISO connectionless protocol (CLNS), which itself is necessary to allow the coexistance of the IP and the CLNS in the Arpanet attached gateways. A RFC to specify a suitable IP addressing method for ISOgrams is currently worked on in Internet Task Forces and should be expected as an RFC shortly. This RFC is for informational purposes only and it's distribution is unlimited. It does not specify a standard for the Arpa-Internet. Hans-Werner Braun () University of Michigan ANSI
