some
minor changes.

Version 0.15 edited in typos found and changes agreed at the AIW, and

Version 0.16 edited in changes at the October 94 AIW
plus changes after as listed below (summary):

Revision 0.16 Post AIW Changes 11/26/94 to 12/20/94

11/26/94:
-   Added "or" on DISCONNECTED summary after ICANREACH_cs.
-   Changed "Session" to "Circuit" in Flow control section.
-   Changed "TCP session" to "TCP circuit" in Capabilities exchange
     section.
-   Added both of Steve Klein's contributions from Connect Group.
-   Edited in some of the sugestions/comments from Digital.
-   Edited in Gene Cox's submission which changes to the Priority section
     as follows:
     -   Change "Unspecified" to "Unsupported" in all places.
      -   Remove note2, as the final priority values are not as close
          to INN TPF as were the originals.
      -   It was the intent of the original submission to say that the
          circuit initiator must choose from the CANUREACH and ICANREACH
          priority values when sending REACH_ACK.
-   Ran spell check.
-   Removed Figure and Table numbers and descriptive text (too many tables
     and figures to number).
12/15/94:
-   Added Flow Control Contribution from Shannon Nix
12/20/94:
-   Added change to Flow control section 8.2 from Peter Gayek (IBM) as per
     Paul Brittain's (DCL) proposed design changes/fixes.

This document was held up pending final output from the Flow
Control Group.  There are technical changes in Chapter 8
so please review carefully.  There are also some minor
technical changes in the state Machine chapter.  All of the other
edits since the AIW are all non-technical.

If the document is approved for CP status, then I will remove
all revision bars, editor's notes, and rename the document 
to version 1.0 (won't that be a happy day :-) !).  Remember that
this is a ballot for CP status, so any technical changes would
have to wait for subsequent versions of the document (i.e version 2),
or would postpone approval for CP status (i.e. another version would
have to be edited and again submitted for a CP status
consensus poll).

Louise will post email on deadlines etc.

The ASCII email version will be posted as soon as I get
a chance today to break up the ASCII file into pieces and
email one section/piece at a time.

Happy reading, Merry Christmas and Happy New year.

- Alan K. Bartky (your tired and very ready for Christmas, editor)
