Start/Resume PDU

Size: 352
Description: The Start/Resume of an exercise shall be communicated using a Start/Resume PDU. The Start/Resume PDU shall contain the following fields:

a) Simulation Management PDU Header - These fields shall identify the PDU header information, the originating entity, and the intended receiving entity. The Simulation Management PDU Header shall be represented by the Simulation Management PDU Header Record described in 5.3.29.
b) Real-World Time - This field shall specify the real-world time (UTC) at which the entity is to start/resume in the exercies. This information shall be used by the participating simulation applications to start/resume an exercise synchronously. This field shall be represented by a Clock Time Record (see 5.3.8).
c) Simulation Time - This field shall specify the simulation time (time of day in the simulated world in UTC) at which the entity will start/resume in the exercise. This field shall be represented by a Clock Time Record see 5.3.8).
d) Request ID - This field shall identify the specific and unique start/resume request being made by the simulation manager. This field shall be represented by a 32-bit unsigned integer.

The Start/Resume PDU is represented in Table 44.
