scope:

This part of MIL-STD 2045-17502 covers access to a Message Transfer System (MTS) in a Military Messaging (MM) environment using the P3 MTS Access Protocol (see also figure 1). These specifications form part of the Military Messaging application functions as defined in the parts of MIL-STD 2045-17502, and are based on the Common messaging content type-independent specifications in MIL-STD 2045-17501.

This part of MIL-STD 2045-17502 is the fourth part of a multipart MIL-STD for AMH2n(D) Military Message Handling Systems.

This part of MIL-STD 2045-17502 specifies the following profile:

AMH23(D) - MM Requirements for MTS Access (P3)

This DSP shall be combined with the multipart DSP identified as "AMH1, Message Handling Systems - Common DoD Messaging" (see also ISO/IEC TR 10000-1, 8.2 for the definition of multipart ISPs).

It may be combined with any DoD approved T-Profiles (see ISO/IEC TR 10000) specifying the OSI connection-mode Transport service.

The model used is one of access to an MTS by an MM MTS-user - specifically, the interconnection between a message transfer agent (MTA) and an MTS-user using the P3 protocol, as shown in figure 1.

The AMH23(D) profile covers all aspects of the MTS Abstract Service, as defined in clause 8 of ISO/IEC 10021-4 when realized using the P3 protocol in an MM environment.
