Local-Busy Mode

When an LS operates in a connection-oriented mode, it needs to stop the remote station's sending of information packets for reasons such as resource outage. Notification can then be sent to the remote station to cause the local station to enter local-busy mode. Once resources are available, the local station notifies the remote that it is no longer busy and that information packets can flow again.

Only sequenced information packets are halted with local-busy mode. All other types of data are unaffected.
