For the limited value that OSI protocols have today, it is a much
better use of resources to simply integrate the protocol stack into
the application.  IIRC, IS-IS runs directly on top of CLNP, so all of
the ISO-TP and TCP-over-CLNP stuff is irrelevant to it.

We chose a long time ago to drop support for OSI protocols because
the network stack was evolving significantly and nobody wanted to
carry that deadweight around.
