Explanation:
OSI network-layer addressing is implemented by using two types of hierarchical addresses:
network service access-point addresses and network-entity titles.
A network service-access point (NSAP) is a conceptual point on the boundary between the
network and the transport layers. The NSAP is the location at which OSI network services are
provided to the transport layer. Each transport-layer entity is assigned a single NSAP, which is
individually addressed in an OSI internetwork using NSAP addresses.
