| _Initial Connection Protocol_
818+
819+
| RFC 165 specifies a procol that allows a server to listen to some
820+
| particular well-known socket number, and then establish two
821+
| connections for full-duplex communication between the server and
822+
| user processes. To do this, first a temporary simplex connection
823+
| is opened for the server to transfer a new socket number to the
824+
| user. Then this socket is the basis for opening two new
825+
| connections between the two processes, and the first connection is
826+
| closed.
827+
828+
| Below, the well-known socket is called L. The temporary connection
829+
| is initiated by the user from socket U. The new socket number is
830+
| S, and the full-duplex connections are between S and U+3, and S+1
831+
| and U+2.

850+
851+
S8: STR (S+1, U+2, _s3_) U7: RTS (U+2, S+1, _l3_)
852+
853+
The labels here imply no ordering except that ordering required by
854+
the Host-Host Protocol. Note that steps S7 and S8 can be reversed as
855+
can U6 and U7. Also, notice that at any time after S2 the server
856+
could initiate steps S7 and S8 in parallel with steps S3 through S6,
857+
and that at any time after U4 the user could initiate steps U6 and U7
858+
in parallel with step U5.
859+
860+
Following the above, exchanges ALL commands would be exchanged and
861+
data transfers could begin.
862+
863+
At this level the parameters of the above ICP family are L, _m1_,
864+
_b1_, _s1_, _s2_, _s3_, _l1_, _l2_, _l3_.
865+
866+
L is a well known socket number and will be specified for each type
867+
of service.
868+
869+
m1 and b1 are allocation quantities for the transfer of a socket
870+
number.
871+
872+
_m1_ is specified to be 1.
873+
_b1_ is specified to be 32.
874+
_s1_, _s2_, and _s3_ are byte sizes. Only _s1_ is to be specified
875+
as _s2_ and _s3_ are to be left to the process involved.
876+
_s1_ is specified to be 32.
877+
878+
_l1_, _l2_, and _l3_ are links and are not specified.
