Clause 7 specifies the mapping between the PubSub concepts described in clause 5 and the PubSub configuration parameters defined in clause 6 to concrete message mappings and transport protocol mappings that can be used to implement them.

DataSetMessage mappings, NetworkMessage mappings and transport protocol mappings are combined together to create transport profiles defined in OPC 10000-7. All PubSub applications shall implement at least one transport profile.
