Summary

Recommendation Q.2111 provides assured data delivery between AAL connection endpoints in a multilink or a connectionless environment. This amendment has been prepared to allow operation over additional types of connectionless lower layer protocols and is designed to be compatible with implementations conforming to that first edition of Recommendation Q.2111 (1999).

The changes from Recommendation Q.2111 (1999) specify operation of SSCOPMCE over additional connectionless lower layers than the original publication of Q.2111 (1999). Specifically, the additional connectionless environments are:

-           IP, as modified by Differentiated Services in IETF RFC 2474; and

-           Ethernet, as defined in ISO/IEC 8802.3.

This amendment supersedes the Implementor's Guide published in December 2000.
