T_CONN_IND(D7tpi)

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 {
   	long 	PRIM_type;		/* always T_CONN_IND */
   	long	SRC_length;	/* source addr length -  */
   	long	SRC_offset;	/* source addr offset */
   	long	OPT_length;	/* options length -   */
   	long	OPT_offset;	/* options offset */
   	long	SEQ_number;	/* sequence 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
