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.

TITLE: GUIDELINES FOR THE SPECIFICATION OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE
DOMAIN SPECIFIC PART (DSP) OF THE ISO STANDARD NSAP ADDRESS
STATUS: X3S3.3 WORKING DRAFT
Introduction
There is a substantial amount of interest in providing guidance to
private address administration authorities on preferred formats and
semantics for the Domain Specific Part (DSP) of an NSAP address. In
particular it is felt that use of a limited number of preferred DSP
formats would allow organizations to easily use intermediate and end
systems from a variety of suppliers. This technical report specifies
the way in which the DSP may be constructed so as to facilitate
efficient address assignment.
1. Scope and Field of Application
This Technical Report specifies a recommended syntax and
interpretation for the Domain Specific Part of an NSAP address. NSAP
Address Administration Authorities are urged to use this format when
the equipment comprising an addressing domain is of a heterogeneous
nature.

5. Addressing Principles
This section provides a summary of the major points contained in DIS
8348/DAD2, as they are relevant to this technical report.
Network addresses are defined to be hierarchical. An authority may
either assign a complete address, or else may identify a subdomain of
its own addressing domain within which addresses may be further
assigned by an identified authority for the subdomain. This is done
in such a way that all addresses are unique.
When an authority identifies a subdomain, this creates in effect a
prefix which applies to all addresses assigned within the subdomain.
Certain methods of assigning authority are recognized within the body
of DIS 8348/DAD 2. These take account of existing addressing
standards such as X.121. The abstract structure of an address is
shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: NSAP Address Structure
The components of this structure are as follows.
IDP: Initial Domain Part
This is the part of the address whose entire content is
standardized. It consists of two parts, the AFI and the IDI.
AFI: Authority and Format Identifier
This specifies the format of the IDI, the authority responsible
for allocating IDI values, and the syntax of the DSP.
IDI: Initial Domain Identifier
This identifies the subdomain from which DSP values are allocated,
and the authority responsible for allocating the values.
DSP: Domain Specific Part
The contents and semantics of the DSP are not specified in DIS
8348/DAD2. Its abstract syntax is however defined by the AFI. In
most cases, this means that the DSP abstract syntax can be either
binary or decimal.
IDI formats specified in DIS 8348/DAD2 identify a number of
authorities for IDI allocation. These are:
1. X.121 (Public data network numbering)
2. F.69 (Telex numbering)
ANSI [Page 4]
RFC 982 April 1986
ANSI Guidelines
3. E.163 (Telephone numbering)
4. E.164 (ISDN numbering)
5. ISO DCC (Geographical address assignment under ISO authority.
A subset of the DCC values used in X.121 have been used to
designate the national addressing authorities)
6. ISO 6523-ICD (Non-geographic address assignment under ISO
authority, using the International Code Designators according
to ISO 6523)
7. Local (the IDI is null and the entire address is contained in
the DSP).

7. Recommendations
7.1 X.121 DSP format guidelines
Description of Binary syntax
The length of the DSP can be determined since the total address
length is known, and the IDP has fixed length for any given AFI
value. If DSP is present, a DSP of 2 or less octets is an NSAP
selector. A DSP between 3 and 9 octets is interpreted in the
manner described below.
The length of the subnetwork identification is fixed at two
octets (16 bits). The assignment of subnetwork
identifications is under the control of the administering
authority for the private domain, except that the value with
both octets hex "FF" is reserved to indicate that the
subnetwork is not explicitly identified.
The length of the subnetwork address may be up to six octets,
and is determined by the DSP length minus three octets. For
subnetworks using DIS 8802 MAC addressing, this field consists
of the octets of the MAC address in the same order as they are
defined in DIS 8802.
The NSAP selector occupies a single octet.

length is known, and the IDP has fixed length for any given AFI
value. If DSP is present, a DSP of 8 or less decimal digits is

interpreted in the manner described below.
The length of the subnetwork identification is fixed at five
decimal digits. The assignment of subnetwork identifications
is under the control of the administering authority for the
private domain, except that a value of "99999" is reserved to
indicate that the subnetwork is not explicitly identified.
The length of the subnetwork address may be up to fifteen

decimal digits.
