The X.25 Over TCP/IP (XOT) component of X.25 enables transmission
of X.25 packets over a wide area network composed of TCP/IP
connections using the methods described in RFC1613.
1 – Subentities
The entity hierarchy of the XOT module is:
Node___XOT____Port
|
|_SAP___Link
The XOT entity represents the datalink interface to X.25.
A XOT PORT entity provides information on each active XOT
connection over TCP/IP, showing which X.25 protocol DTE entity is
using a link. Ports are created and deleted dynamically as X.25
connections are requested. There is one Port entity for each PVC
or SVC connection.
A XOT SAP entity specifies the point at which XOT gains access to
the TCP/IP environment for purposes of listening for inbound XOT
connections. There can be a single XOT SAP entity to listen on
any available IP interface; or one or more XOT SAP entities can
be used to listen on specific IP interfaces.
A XOT SAP LINK entity represents a remote system with which XOT is
allowed to communicate. In the case of an inbound XOT connection,
there must be a LINK entity with a matching remote IP address and
remote port number in order for XOT to accept the TCP/IP connection.
In the case of an outbound connection, the LINK specifies the
remote IP address and remote port number of the system with which
to attempt the TCP/IP connection.
