+Request for Comments: 22 UCLA
+ October 17, 1969
+
+
+ Host-Host Control Message Formats
+
+ NWG/RFC 11 has been modified at UCLA; and will be republished. In
+ the meantime, it seems important to report a new control message
+ format which does not use 7-bit ASCII character mode of transmission.
+
+ All Host-Host control messages consist of sequences of 8-bit bytes of
+ the form:
+
+ <control byte> <parameter byte l> ... <parameter byte n>
+
+ It is reasonable to transmit more than one control message in any
+ given packet, although this is not mandatory.
+
+ Presently, 9 control messages have been defined by UCLA; these are
+ given in the table below along with their parameters. The
+ interpretation is given from the point of view of the transmitting
+ host. ("L" or "Li" mean Link#, and are binary values.)
+
+ Control byte Parameter Interpretation
+
+ <0> <L> Please establish primary connection;
+ our output link # is L
+
+ <1> <L,> <L2> Please establish auxiliary connection
+ parallel to our primary output link L.
+ The auxiliary output link is L2.
+
+ <2> <L1> <L2> DK primary. Your primary output link
+ to us was L; our primary output link
+ to you is L2.
+
+ <3> <L1> <L2> OK auxiliary. Your auxiliary output
+ link is Li, our auxiliary output link
+ is L2.
+
+ <4> <L> Not OK primary. We cannot establish a
+ primary connection. Your primary
+ output link number was L.
+
+ <5> <Li> <L2> Not OK auxiliary. We cannot establish
+ an auxiliary connection. Your primary
+ output link no was L2.

+RFC 22 Host-Host Control Message Formats October 1969
+
+
+ <6> <L> Please stop transmitting over link
+ number L. This is called the CEASE
+ directive.
+
+ <7> <L> We are CLOSING our output link number
+ L. You may get this message before
+ the last message arrives over this
+ link since control messages are higher
+ priority than regular data messages.
+
+ <8> <L> UNCEASE: that is, you may resume
+ transmitting over output link number
+ L.
+
+ Each control message is embedded in the appropriate message structure
+ e.g.:
+
+ <-------------32 bits --------------->
+ | HEADER |
+ |____________________________________|
+ | | | | |
+ | mark | l | <L1> | <L2> |
+ |______|_______|___________|_________|
+ | | |
+ | checksum | Padding |
+ |_________________|__________________|
+ typical control message (please
+ establish auxiliary link #L2
+ parallel to our primary link #l)
+
+ The header for all HOST-HOST control messages is given below:
+
+ 0 3 4 7 8 9 10 14 LINK# 24 31
+ _______________________________________________________________
+ | | | | | |////////////////|
+ | FLAGS | TYPE | H | SITE | 00000001 |////////////////|
+ |_______|______|_____|_______|_______________|________________|
+
+ where FLAGS - 0000
+ TYPE - 0000 (regular message)
+ H - host #(0-3) at SITE (usually 0 for single HOST sites)
+ SITE - Site #
+ LINK# - 00000001 (HOST-HOST control link)
