4.3 Primitive Structure and Operation
A Primitive consists of multiple fields that specify the Primitive’s length and
function, type and location of data to be accessed, and data to be
transferred. In TIWAY I, a Primitive forms the information field of an
HDLC Information frame (I) or Unnumbered Information frame (UI) if
HDLC operation is selected. If X.25 operation is selected, the Primitive is
contained in the User Data field of an X.25 Data Packet.
