 service instances, (b) the representation of different sublayers of the SDLP where those sublayers provide different protocol stack services (i.e., ISO OSI type services), and (c) the use of dashed elements to represent functional elements that are expected
 to co-exist with the “main” service being illustrated but are not part of the provision or production of that “main” service. Please note that the text accompanying this diagram has not yet been updated to explain these nuances.<o:p></o:p></p>
