"Local Control Network and Internetwork ISO-OSI Refernece Model"

The paper describes a new local control network architecture. The new control network is totally distributed and redundantly hardware and software structured, based on a bus configuration and on CSMA/CD media access control. The architecture of the control structure and of the data communications structure for both Local Network and Internetwork is discussed in comparison with ISO-OSI and Local Area Network IEEE Standard 802 (Draft) Reference Models. A previous paper [4] dealt with the physical implementation of this concept. The present paper is more software structure oriented.
