Little agreement appears to exist as +to what its semantics should be. TCP defines the notion of +``urgent data'' as in-line, while the NBS protocols [Burruss81] +and numerous others provide a fully independent logical +transmission channel along which out of band data is to be +sent. +In addition, the amount of the data which may be sent as an out +of band message varies from protocol to protocol; everything +from 1 bit to 16 bytes or more. +.PP +A stream socket's notion of out of band data has been defined +as the lowest reasonable common denominator (at least reasonable +in our minds); +clearly this is subject to debate. Out of band data is expected +to be transmitted out of the normal sequencing and flow control +constraints of the data stream. A minimum of 1 byte of out of +band data and one outstanding out of band message are expected to +be supported by the protocol supporting a stream socket. +It is a protocol's prerogative to support larger-sized messages, or +more than one outstanding out of band message at a time. +.PP +Out of band data is maintained by the protocol and is usually not +stored in the socket's receive queue. +A socket-level option, SO_OOBINLINE, +is provided to force out-of-band data to be placed in the normal +receive queue when urgent data is received; +this sometimes amelioriates problems due to loss of data +when multiple out-of-band +segments are received before the first has been passed to the user. +The PRU_SENDOOB and PRU_RCVOOB +requests to the \fIpr_usrreq\fP routine are used in sending and +receiving data. |
