3.2.5.1.1 Processing an Application-Created PDU

  • Article

The receiver of an Application-Created PDU (OD_APP_CREATED) MUST first validate the common header for consistency (as specified in section 3.1.5.1).

After the header is validated, the receiver MUST validate the Name field according to the rules specified in section 3.1.5.2. If the size of the received PDU extends past the end of the Name string, the receiver SHOULD ignore the rest of the PDU (the part that extends past the end of the PDU is reserved for future extensions of the message). If the PDU size is not long enough to contain all the fields in the message, including the variable size Name field, the connection SHOULD be terminated.<9><10>

If the receiver wants to use the application and window list facilities of this protocol, it SHOULD process the information according to section 3.1.5.3.
