ZL4-WIN
has different meanings depending on the transport class of service. If the
negotiated transport service protocol class is class 1, this field specifies the
number of data transport protocol data units (DT-TPDUs) that can be received
before an acknowledgment is required. To avoid potential deadlocks, this
value must be equal to the Layer 4 window size for the remote application.
If the negotiated transport service protocol class is class 2, 3, or 4, this field
specifies the number of DT-TPDUs that can be sent by the remote transport
entity without waiting for an acknowledgment (in other words, it specifies the
initial credit allocation used by the remote transport entity).
The range of values for ZL4-WIN is 0 through 15. The value initially set by the
OSI manager is 4. ZL4-WIN is not applicable to class 0.
ZNETTYPE
is the quality of network service. The values for this field are as follows:
ZOSI-VAL-NETTYPE-A
The network connection has an acceptable residual error rate, not signaled
by disconnects or resets, and has an acceptable rate of signaled errors.
ZOSI-VAL-NETTYPE-B
The network connection has an acceptable residual error rate, not signaled
by disconnects or resets, but has an unacceptable rate of signaled errors.
ZOSI-VAL-NETTYPE-C
The network connection has an unacceptable residual error rate.
The value initially set by the OSI manager is ZOSI-VAL-NETTYPE-A.
