2. The managed client responds with an RMCP ACK, returning only an RMCP Header. Note<br />
that all values are copied from the “Request” message’s RMCP header, with the “ACK” bit set<br />
in the fourth byte.<br />

4. The management console, having received both the ACK and “Response” sends an RMCP<br />
ACK, completing the request/response cycle. The RMCP Header is copied from the<br />
managed client’s “Response” message, with the “ACK” bit set in byte 4.<br />

Interactions with some packet loss<br />
1. The description that follows illustrates the RMCP Header and RMCP Data fields in a consoleto-client<br />
communication where some of the messages are lost. The management console<br />
sends an <strong>ASF</strong>-RMCP “Request” message<br />

2. The management console waits to receive an ACK from the client, but the client never<br />
received that “Request” message; the console re-transmits the “Request” message with the<br />
same Sequence Number as the original message in step 1.<br />
