SUMMARY
Page 6-32 of the "IBM LAN Technical Reference" (dated November 1988)
states that you should set the reserved bits in a DATA_ONLY_LAST frame
to 0 (zero), and set bit 1 to 1 (one), if it is a NO_ACK send. In
Microsoft NetBIOS version 2.0, bits 2 and 3 are sometimes set, and
when they are, a regular send is treated much like SEND_NO_ACK.
The Acknowledge_Included bit will be set to ON (1) when NetBIOS sends
an acknowledgment with the DATA_ONLY_LAST frame. It will only be set
to ON if NetBIOS has previously received a DATA_ONLY_LAST frame that
has the ACK_WITH_DATA_ALLOWED bit set to ON. The Acknowledge_Included
bit indicates that an acknowledgment to a previous frame is
"piggybacked" with this data frame, and that the correlator value has
been placed into the xmit_correlator field.
The Ack_with_data_allowed bit indicates that the "piggyback acknowledge" protocol is supported, and that the partner NetBIOS can, at its option, use it. In addition, the description of the xmit_correlator field in the DATA_ONLY_LAST frame must be changed as follows: X'nnnn', where "nnnn" is zero when no acknowledgment is sent with data, or "nnnn" equals the previously received response correlator of a DATA_ONLY_LAST frame in which the Ack_with_data_allowed indicator was set to ON. When an acknowledgment is sent, the Acknowledge_Included bit must be set to ON. Additional query words: 2.00 2.10 2.10a 2.20 netbios
