This structure represents an RSCV that allows active transmission groups, but allows any class-of-service characteristics to be acceptable.
BIND, RSP(BIND), and other RUs carry the route selection control vector (RSCV) . It describes the path through an APPN network that a session is to take or has taken. APPN nodes send and receive the RSCV , but LEN nodes do not.
