C.1Introduction Abstract
Defines the OSI Physical Service in terms of primitive actions and events, parameters associated with each action and event, and the interrelationship between them. It specifies the characteristics of a conceptual Physical Service and thus supplements the OSI Basic Reference Model in guiding the development of Physical Layer protocols, but does not specify the individual implementations or products within an information processing system.
