Distributed Systems Architecture
The networking architecture, developed by Honeywell-Bull for the GCOS environment, was Distributed Systems Architecture (DSA). Distributed Systems Architecture was strictly compliant with Open Systems Interconnection. Datanet was the communications front end for GCOS while its successor MainWay supports both DSA and TCP/IP networks. The Questar series provided VIP terminals for the DSA environment. TNVIP (VIP over IP) is used for the terminal emulation in a TCP/IP environment (GLink, Winsurf).

—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“It seems a fantastic paradox, but it is nevertheless a most important truth, that no architecture can be truly noble which is not imperfect.”
