DL_TOKEN request

DL_TOKEN acknowledge

In the typical connection establishment scenario, the called DLS user processes one connect indication at a time, accepting the connection on another stream. Once the user responds to the current connect indication, the next connect indication (if any) can be processed. DLPI also enables the called DLS user to multi-thread incoming connect indications. The user can receive multiple connect indications before responding to any of them. This enables the DLS user to establish priority schemes on incoming connect requests.

Connection Establishment Rejection. In certain situations, the connection establishment request cannot be completed. The following describes the occasions under which DL_DISCONNECT_REQ and DL_DISCONNECT_IND primitives will flow during connection establishment, causing the connect request to be aborted.

Figure 1-14 illustrates the situation where the called DLS user chooses to reject the connect request by issuing DL_DISCONNECT_REQ instead of DL_CONNECT_RES.

Figure 1-15 illustrates the situation where the DLS provider rejects a connect request for lack of resources or other reasons. The DLS provider sends DL_DISCONNECT_IND in response to DL_CONNECT_REQ.
