User Class-of-Service with Inactive Transmission Groups RSCV

This structure is used to represent an RSCV that allows inactive transmission groups. It has the same class-of-service characteristics as the class-of-service that is given by the user.

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.

Variable Data
3-4		RSCV length

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