<abstract>
<t>The network program at a site must be prepared to send or receive more than one control message in a single control communication.</t>
<t>During the time that the control link is blocked awaiting RFNM, it is possible that a number of control messages to a particular remote host will accumulate.  When the link is unblocked, these should all be sent in a single communication for greatest efficiency.</t>
<t>For receiving, it will be necessary to have a loop which returns to decode and take action on successive control messages until the control communication is exhausted.</t></abstract></front>
