2、ry Council (ITI) Approved August 24, 2000 American National Standards Institute, Inc. Abstract This standard specifies a connection-oriented data transfer protocol supporting flow-controlled Read and Write sequences and non-flow-controlled, persistent-memory Put, Get and FetchOp sequences. For all s
3、equences, small control messages are used to pre-allocate buffers at the data Destination before the data movement begins, thus allowing the data to be moved immediately from the physical network into the end devices memory. The control and data messages may use different physical media or may share
4、 a single physical medium. Procedures are provided for moving data over HIPPI and other media.

Printed in the United States of America Approval of an American National Standard requires review by ANSI that the require-ments for due process
6、, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgement of the ANSI Board of Standards Re-view, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected in-terests. Substantial agreement means much more
7、than a simple majority, but not nec-essarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made towards their resolution.

The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any Am

Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American Na-tional Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute.

CAUTION: The developers of this standard have requested that holders of patents that may be required for the implementation of the standard disclose such patents to the p
