Using the Pacing Protocol

To avoid a message-flow rate that is too fast for Personal Communications or the host, you can specify pacing in the BIND command. Pacing applies to the LU-LU normal flow only. While pacing, Personal Communications permits a specified number of messages to flow and waits for a response before permitting additional messages to be sent. You can specify pacing on Personal Communications-to-host flow, the host-to-Personal Communications flow, or both. Once the LU-LU session starts, LUA handles all pacing with no participation by the application program.
