The entity hierarchy for the NSP module is: Node___NSP____Local_NSAP___Remote_NSAP | |_Port The NSP entity is the top-level entity in the hierarchy of entities belonging to the NSP module. An NSP LOCAL NSAP entity is automatically created for each NSAP address used by the nsp entity. Local NSAPs are used primarily to group together remote NSAPs (see the nsp local nsap remote nsap entity). The nsap-address is the local NSAP managed by this command. An NSP LOCAL NSAP REMOTE NSAP entity maintains the transport counters and generates events resulting from interactions between its superior local NSAP and a remote transport service. The local nsap nsap-address is the local NSAP associated with the specified remote NSAP. The remote nsap nsap-address is the remote NSAP managed by this command. An NSP PORT entity represents one end of a transport connection and maintains status information about that connection. A port is visible to the network only when it is assigned to a transport connection. The port-id is the port managed by this command.
