Responder Data Flow

Protocol and user data generally flows to and from the Compaq responder in the steps described below. Note that the responder sends primarily responses, although cancel and abort requests—and data indications during a data transfer—are also possible. For the purposes of this subsection, assume that the remote initiator sends an FTAM request and the responder returns a response to that request. This sequence of steps assumes that you have already established an association.

The numbers shown in Figure 3-1 correspond to the sequence of steps outlined below.

1.An FTAM application, typically on a remote system, issues an FTAM request to the FTAM initiator supporting it.
