dc.description.abstract	This paper describes the practical aspects of a protocol system implementation. The software for a BSC/X.25 Packet Assembler/Disassembler (PAD) was designed, developed and tested. The PAD was designed to support the communication of IBM 2780/3780 and compatible Remote Job Entry (RJE) stations over an X.25 network. In the paper the RPAD/X.25 network environment is introduced, the target system is described, and the software design is discussed. Some attention is given to the problems and techniques of protocol specification, and the methods employed in this particular project are discussed. The implementation and testing phases of the development are described, and finally, the importance of complete, accurate and structured documentation is stressed.	en
