SSID

OFTP2 session command, session start-up and negotiation.

Definition

SSID is OFTP2's session start-up command: each peer sends its ODETTE identification (SSIDCODE, max 25 chars), password (SSIDPSWD, max 8), data exchange buffer size (SSIDSDEB), send/receive/both direction (SSIDSR), credit window (SSIDCRED) and the secure-authentication requirement (SSIDAUTH). It follows the SSRM/SSID exchange and precedes any file transfer.

Origin

Defined in §5.3.2 of RFC 5024 (ODETTE File Transfer Protocol 2.0, IETF, 2007), maintained by ODETTE International.
