  NAME

    hosts.osi - ISO/OSI network node static routing database

  DESCRIPTION

    This file translates network service access point (NSAP) addresses to
    physical addresses for nodes that do not support the End
    System/Intermediate System (ES/IS) protocol.

    The /etc/hosts.osi file is used as input to the osid daemon, which loads
    the information to the ISO network layer in the kernel where it is used to
    perform static routing.  Use the add(8) command to manually build this
    file.

    The file contains the following four fields of information:  name, NSAP,
    SNPA (subnetwork point of attachment), and port number.  Refer to add(8)
    for a description of each field.

  EXAMPLE

    The following shows a sample entry in a hosts.osi file:
