The DynamicOSI® Java OSI Stack SDK is a Standalone platform-independent upper-layer OSI Stack Software Development Kit (SDK) which consists of a simple Java API and protocol stack for performing upper-layer OSI communications over RFC1006 (TCP/IP). It provides a 100% Java, fully inter-operable, standard-compliant implementation of the RFC1006 standard for OSI over TCP including an implementation of the OSI transport layer which standards required for inter-operable communication between:

• OSI Transport-layer Service Access Points (TSAPs).
• OSI Session-layer Service Access Points (SSAPs).
• OSI Presentation-layer Service Access Points (PSAPs).
• OSI Application Layer Entities

With this stack API, you can now develop 100% Java applications which interact with other OSI systems over RFC1006. The standalone API stack is based on the time-proven OSI/RFC1006 stack used in the Monfox DynamicTMN® CMIP Products that has been in use around the world since 1999.

The current implementation provides a lightweight, high-level OSI stack API that implements the following components:

With this API, you can develop OSI applications at any level from the Transport Layer up to the Application Layer. You can also implement your own application layer protocol modules using the Presentation Layer API, ACSE API and ASN.1 API.

Key Features

Some of the general features of the DynamicOSI® OSI Stack SDK are:

• 100% Java (Java 1.4 SDK or newer, uses no JNI)
• Supports both initiator/responder connection modes
• Runs in the application space (no separate stack processes)
• Inter-operable with all 3rd party OSI over RFC1006 based stacks

Some of the specific features of the individual SDK components are:

Custom Stacks

At Monfox, we realize that it is very difficult to provide a shrink-wrapped software solution that meets the needs of all prospective customers. For this reason, we offer very cost-effective custom stack development for customers who need more than just an out-of-box stack solution. So, if you need an OSI stack for Java, please contact us and see how we can help.
