Description / Abstract:
This Recommendation | International Standard specifies a set of
Packed Encoding Rules that may be used to derive a transfer syntax
for values of types defined in ITU-T Rec. X.680 | ISO/IEC 8824-1.
These Packed Encoding Rules are also to be applied for decoding
such a transfer syntax in order to identify the data values being
transferred.
The encoding rules specified in this Recommendation |
International Standard:
– are used at the time of communication;
– are intended for use in circumstances where minimizing the
size of the representation of values is the major concern in the
choice of encoding rules;
– allow the extension of an abstract syntax by addition of extra
values, preserving the encodings of the existing values, for all
forms of extension described in ITU-T Rec. X.680 | ISO/IEC
8824-1.
