FINS Frames Section 7-2
7-2 FINS Frames
The FINS communications service is carried out through the exchange of
FINS command frames and their corresponding response frames. (There are
also commands with no responses.)
Both command frames and response frames are comprised of a FINS header
for storing transfer control information, a FINS command field for storing a
command, and a FINS parameter/data field for storing command parameters
and transmission/response data.
FINS command frames and FINS response frames are used with both FINS/
UDP and FINS/TCP.
