OTMA single-stream program switch

The single-stream program switch is shown in the following figure.

Program A switches to program B, and Program B switches to Program C, which then inserts back to the I/O PCB. This model of program flow delivers the send-then-commit output message successfully. Single-stream means that the program switches occur one after another. No express PCBs are used in the P2P message switches.
