OSI Network Address

OSI Network Address, similar to the IP address, is the network address for an OSI-based network. It consists of up to 20 octets, used to locate an OSI Transport entity. The address is formatted into two parts: an Initial Domain Part that is standardized for each of several addressing domains and a Domain Specific Part that is the responsibility of the addressing authority for that domain.
