GOSIP overview
The U.S. Federal Government has mandated use of the International Standards Organization`s Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocols throughout all federal computer network services and products. A Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) was adopted February 15, 1989 and enforcement began August 15, 1990. This FIPS describes, in publication 146, national policy mandating use of a functional profile of OSI approved protocols relevant to the federal government. Law requires all federal agencies purchasing network services and products to specify the Government OSI Profile, called GOSIP. This standard is compulsory and binding for all procurements of new networking products and services and for major upgrades to existing computer networks. This paper provides a discussion of GOSIP.
