Link Session Termination
The user or the remote station can end DLC FDDI.
The user or the remote station can end DLC FDDI in the following ways:
- The user can cause normal termination by issuing a DLC_HALT_LS command to the DLC FDDI device manager. The DLC_HALT_LS command causes the primary or combined station to initiate a disconnect (DISC) packet sequence.
- Receive inactivity can be optioned to cause termination. This is useful in detecting a loss of attachment in the middle of a session.
- The remote station can cause termination by sending a DISC command packet as a primary or combined station.
Note: Protocol violations and resource outages can cause abnormal
termination.
