This chapter introduces the X.25 product with emphasis on its X.25 programmatic access (X.25/PA) interface, which this manual describes in detail. With X.25, application programs can control X.25 packet transmission (level 3 of the Open Systems Interconnectivity (OSI) model).

This chapter contains 3 parts:

  • X.25 Product Description

  • Using BSD IPC

  • Getting Started with X.25 Programmatic Access

All X.25 programmatic access is through Berkeley Software Distribution Interprocess Communication (BSD IPC) facilities, which are also known as Berkeley Sockets.
