Abstract / scope

Differs from the other related International Standards by the layers defined in ISO/IEC 7498-1. In particular, it defines the way in which a local area network that conforms to ISO/IEC 8802 may be used as a subnetwork within the network layer to provide the abstract underlying service with respect to which the protocol defined by ISO/IEC 8473-1 is specified.
