Datagrams called
VINES internet packets
carry information across a VINES
environment. Within each packet is the source and destination address needed to
route the packet between nodes on the network. Each packet is a discrete unit of
data that travels independently on the network layer.
VINES Architecture
VINES architecture reflects the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) for Open Systems Interconnection (OSI). Banyan designed VINES to
support both existing and future OSI model requirements. The VINES protocol
stack has seven layers; the lower three layers deliver and route data, while the
upper layers handle application-specific processes (T
able 1-1).
