Data Transfer Service

The connection-mode data transfer service provides for the exchange of user data in either direction or in both directions simultaneously between DLS users. Data is transmitted in logical groups called data link service data units (DLSDUs). The DLS provider preserves both the sequence and boundaries of DLSDUs as they are transmitted.

Normal data transfer is neither acknowledged nor conﬁrmed. It is up to the DLS users, if they so choose, to implement a conﬁrmation protocol.

Each DL_DATA_REQ primitive conveys a DLSDU from the local DLS user to the DLS provider. Similarly, each DL_DATA_IND primitive conveys a DLSDU from the DLS provider to the remote DLS user. The normal ﬂow of messages is illustrated in Figure 1-19.
