This part of ISO/IEC 16500 covers the high and mid layer protocols for DAVIC systems. It defines a set of
protocol components ("tools") which are referenced by ISO/IEC 16500-2 ("System Dynamics, Scenarios, and
Protocol Requirements").
In particular this part of ISO/IEC 16500 describes the protocol stacks required for the support of the DAVIC
flows, i.e., S1 through S5. The specific DAVIC options for each of the protocols are specified as well as the
different optional protocols stacks applicable. Requirements on protocols at specific interfaces are also considered
and included in the specification.
