NAME

T_CONN_IND - Connect Indication

SYNOPSIS

This message consists of one M_PROTO message block followed by zero or more M_DATA blocks if any user data is associated with the primitive. The format of the M_PROTO message block is as follows:

struct T_conn_ind {
    t_scalar_t   PRIM_type;      /* Always T_CONN_IND */
    t_scalar_t   SRC_length;
    t_scalar_t   SRC_offset;
    t_scalar_t   OPT_length;
    t_scalar_t   OPT_offset;
    t_scalar_t   SEQ_number;
};

DESCRIPTION

This primitive indicates to the transport user that a connect request to the user has been made by the user at the specified source address.

PARAMETERS

PRIM_type

identifies the primitive type.

SRC_length

is the length of the source address

SRC_offset

is the offset (from the beginning of the M_PROTO message block) where the source address begins.

OPT_length

is the length of the requested options associated with the primitive.

OPT_offset

is the offset (from the beginning of the M_PROTO message block) of the requested options associated with the primitive.

SEQ_number

should be a unique number other than -1 to identify the connect indication.

The proper alignment of the source address and options in the M_PROTO message block is not guaranteed.

MODES

Only connection-mode.

ORIGINATOR

Transport provider.
