Any Class-of-Service with Active Transmission Groups RSCV

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.

X'46' Transmission group descriptor control vector: one for each transmission group on the session path
X'47' Transmission group characteristics control vector: one for each transmission group on the session path (present when the RSCV is carried on a BIND or RSP(BIND))
