MECHANISM TO PREVENT ESCAPED ASSOCIATIONS IN MULTI-ASSOCIATION RPC BASED PROTOCOLS

摘要

Consistent with embodiments of the present invention, a method may be provided comprising sending a first bind request with an association group ID of zero. A first association group with a first association group ID may then be created. The first association group ID may be switched to a second association group ID in an acknowledgement message. A second bind request may then be sent with the second association group ID. The second association group ID may be switched to the first association group ID in the second bind request after the bind request has been sent. After receiving the second bind request, it may be determined whether the association group ID in the second bind request is the same as the first association group ID. A failure message may be sent if the association group ID in the second bind request is not the same as the first association group ID.
