DECnet Plus

The DECnet Plus, also known as DECnet/OSI or DECnet V, defines a layered model that implements three protocol suites: OSI, DECnet, and TCP/IP. DECnet plus conforms to the seven-layer OSI reference model and supports many of the standard OSI protocols. DECnet plus provides backward compatibility with DECnet Phase IV and supports multiple proprietary Digital protocols. DECnet plus supports functionality in the application, presentation, and session layers. The TCP/IP implementation of DECnet plus supports the lower-layer TCP/IP protocols and enables the transmission of DECnet traffic over TCP transport protocols.
