The following description illustrates an exemplary path through the state machine illustrated in Table 1. First, TCP software associated with a near end TALI implementation may establish a TCP connection with TCP software associated with a far end TALI implementation. During the TCP connection establishment phase, both TALI implementations are in the connecting state. Once a TCP connection is established, both TALI implementations are in the NEP-FEP state, indicating that TALI service messages cannot be sent. When the near end TALI implementation receives an allow message, the state machine switches to the NEP-FEA state. In the NEP-FEA state, the near end TALI implementation will send an allow message when a management allow traffic event occurs. As used herein, the phrase “management allow traffic event” refers to an event that notifies the TALI implementation that service messages can be sent on the socket in question. Once the near end TALI implementation sends an allow message, the state machine transitions to the NEA—FEA state. In the NEA—FEA state, both TALI implementations can send and receive TALI service messages.
