Abstract :
The Defense Communications Agency has developed a strategy for the adoption of the GOSIP (Government OSI profile) defined open system interconnection (OSI) protocols within the Department of Defense (DoD). The cornerstone of the DoD´s OSI migration strategy is coexistence and interoperability with the DoD protocols through progressive stages of implementation. Coexistence and interoperability are discussed with respect to the dual-protocol host, selected application-layer interoperability, internetwork-level OSI connectivity, and publicly available OSI software.<>
