indicates the hierarchical relationships between the entities.
NSP
Port
Local NSAP
Remote NSAP
NSP performs the following functions:
o Enables the creation and destruction of transport connections used for
sending messages within a network node and between network nodes.
o Manages the movement of expedited and normal data from transmit buffers
to receive buffers, using flow control mechanisms.
o Breaks up normal data messages into segments that can be transmitted
individually, and reassembles these segments into correct order after they
have been received.
o Guarantees the delivery of data and control messages to a specified
destination using an error correction mechanism.
The NSP entity is the top-level entity in the hierarchy of
entities belonging to the NSP module.
