Abstract
We will follow the architecture for OSI proposed by ISO. Within this architecture, protocols describe the rules and formats of communication among homogeneous entities; they are independent of interaction properties of entities with entities in adjacent layers. The description of functions of the entity for the protocol of the layer N, if it is to be complete, includes the mechanisms used for the interaction with entities in adjacent layers N+1 and N−1. Sane of the factors that are important for the consideration of interaction rules are resource assignement for interaction among entities, its consequence in through put at the service access point N and N−1 and the utilisation of resources within the entity N.
