To meet the requirements of different networks, X.25 defines nine match types
and their relevant alias string formats, as shown in the following table.

2 Attributes related to the address code block in calling or called packets
As defined in the X.25 protocol, a call packet must carry the information set of
both the calling DTE address (source address) and the called DTE address
(destination address). This address information set is called the address code block.
While in call accept packet, some networks require that both (the calling DTE
address and the called DTE address) be carried, some networks require that only
one of the two be carried, while some others require that neither should be
carried. To adapt the difference between various networks, you can select as
required.
3 Default upper layer protocol that X.25 bears
An X.25 call request packet includes a CUD (Call User Data) field that indicates the
upper layer protocol type carried over X.25 protocol. When receiving an X.25 call,
the device will check the CUD field in the packet. If receiving a call carrying an
unidentifiable CUD field, the router will deny it. However, an upper layer protocol
can be specified as the default protocol on the X.25. When X.25 receives a call
with an unrecognizable CUD, it will treat it as the customized default upper layer
protocol.
