Notes:
The Generic Application Template (GAT) (T.121) defines the Application Protocol Entity (APE) which is an instance of an application protocol. The APE interfaces with the node controller and application at the higher levels and the GCC and MCS at the lowe
The Application Resource Manager (ARM) provides the generic functionality relevant to all protocols.
The Application Service Element (ASE) provides the application specific functionality. (Ex. File transfer or still image exchange.)
This component is conditional based on whether an application protocolhas been specified. It is mandatory for standardized application protocols.It is recommended for non-standard application protocols.
