The Message DISTRIBUTION Package (MDP) performs internal
distribution of incoming and outgoing messages, comments,
messages for coordination, messages for printing, messages
for release, release notifications and specified distribution
from the Message Service Function, the Message Distribution
Control Function and the Supervisor.
Internal distribution means selection of queues for
terminals, devices, or lines based on either Headquarters
and standard distributions lists (SDL) or on specification
of staff-cell designators (SCD).
The Message DISTRIBUTION Package receives messages
from the TRAFFIC HANDLING Package and from the TERMINAL
Package (Refer fig. 5.12.1).
From the TRAFFIC HANDLING Package incoming messages
are queued for distribution determination based on
SDL (1), outgoing messages are queued for local distribution
based on a manually generated SCD list (2).
From the TERMINAL Package manual distribution of comments,
messages for coordination, messages for printing, messages
for release, and release notifications are executed
by an SCD list, or a device/terminal designator (3),
and any problems in the distribution is referred to
the TERMINAL Package (MDCO) (4).
The message DISTRIBUTION Package selects queues as
a result of the distribution criteria (5).
When a terminal is signed on an active terminal queue
is created from the passive terminal queue. The active
terminal queue will contain all the messages the user
can access at the terminal position. When a terminal
is signed off the messages from the active terminal
queue will be transferred to the passive terminal queue.
However, Flash and Immediate messages will be sent
to the MDCO for alternative distribution. Immediate
messages will not be sent until ten minutes after the
terminal has been signed off.
When a device gets unmanned or has been closed by the
supervisor no flash or immediate messages are sent
to device queues but sent to the MDCO. When a device
gets manned or has been opened by the supervisor, message
is checked against the device profile; if the match
is fulfilled the message will be sent to the device
queue. If the match fails the message will be sent
to MDCO.

Incoming messages are queued by the Traffic Handling
Package to the message DISTRIBUTION Package for internal
distribution. The internal distribution is based on:
a) Distribution within Headquarters. A CAMPS site
may serve up to 8 colocated headquarters. For the
HQs, the MDP generates a nominal distribution list
based on standard distribution lists for each HQ
using the SICs and distribution type indicator
of the message (peace, crisis, or exercise).
b) Distribution of special message categories:
- Encrypted messages
- Special handling messages of category exclusive,
crypto security or Nat. Eyes only.
For each of these messages, the nominal distribution
list contains one supervisor specified terminal
designator.
Data messages will be distributed according to
PLA and SICs as for plaindress messages.
Messages with special handling instruction Atomal
will be distributed as normal plaindress messages,
except for print, which will always be at supervisor
designated printer.
All other messages with special handling instruction,
incl. messages with more than one will be sent
to MDCO.
After generation of the nominal distribution list,
the incoming messages are either distributed to
staff cells and devices or queued for support by
the MDCO (see 4 and 5).
c) Incoming Messages are deferred to the MDCO for
the following reasons:
- Missing SICs
- Internal Handling Instructions
- Supervisor parameters for distribution i.e.,
1) All incoming messages
2) All incoming messages of specified classification
3) All incoming messages except those of specified
classification
A notification explaining the reason for MDCO assistance
and the Distribution List (staff cells and terminals)
as complete as possible based on the available information
are passed on to the MDCO.
5.12.1.2.1.2 L̲o̲c̲a̲l̲ ̲D̲i̲s̲t̲r̲i̲b̲u̲t̲i̲o̲n̲ ̲o̲f̲ ̲O̲u̲t̲g̲o̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲M̲e̲s̲s̲a̲g̲e̲s̲
After release and Station Serial Number assignment
outgoing messages are queued by Traffic Handling for
the MDP for internal distribution. The distribution
is specified as staff cells. The MDP distributes to
the specified staff cells (see 5) or in case of incorrectly
specified staff cells for the MDCO (see 4).
5.12.1.2.1.3 O̲t̲h̲e̲r̲ ̲D̲i̲s̲t̲r̲i̲b̲u̲t̲i̲o̲n̲ ̲O̲b̲j̲e̲c̲t̲s̲
The MDP distributes to specified staff cells or device/terminal
positions.
From the Terminal Package the following objects are
received for local distribution (refer figure 5.12.1):
a) Distribution of messages retrieved by the Supervisor
and specified for distribution to staff cells.
(3a)
b) Distribution of incoming messages to specified
staff cells from a Message Service position (3b).
The messages may be garbled.
c) Messages which have been deferred to the MDCO due
to an incomplete set of distribution instructions
or other (see 4) are returned to the MDP together
with an updated list of staff cells for distribution.
(3c)
d) Distribution of messages for release (3d).
When requested by the drafter the message will
be sent to the release position to which the drafter's
terminal position is associated. (Including messages
for release from CCIS and SCARS).
e) Distribution of release notifications (3f).
Upon release of a message, the releasing officer
may add comments to the automatic generated notification.
This release notification is distributed by the
MDP to the message drafter (See 5). If the terminal
is unavailable the notification is sent to MDCO.
(See 6).
f) Distribution of messages for coordination (3f).
Messages in preparation may be sent for coordination.
The preparation terminal queues the message for
the MDP together with an indication of the coordinating
staff cell. The MDP distributes to the coordination
staff cell designator (see 5).
If a message for coordination cannot be distributed
to a specified staff cell, a notification (comment)
is generated and returned to the drafter by this
package.
g) Distribution of comments (3g).
Any terminal position may generate comments. They
are queued for the MDP together with a list of
staff cells for distribution. The MDP distributes
the comment (see 5). If the terminal is unavailable
the comment is sent to MDCO (see 6).
h) Distribution of messages for printing (3h).
If user activates the print-function, the message
is queued to the MDP for distribution to the associated
printer.
5.12.1.2.1.4 D̲i̲s̲t̲r̲i̲b̲u̲t̲i̲o̲n̲ ̲L̲i̲s̲t̲ ̲a̲n̲d̲ ̲Q̲u̲e̲u̲e̲i̲n̲g̲
The MDP distributes the objects as described in 5.12.1.2.1.1,
5.12.1.2.1.2 and 5.12.1.2.1.3 by queues.
The queues may lead to:
CCIS (5a)
SCARS (5b)
Any Point to Point connection (5c)
Papertape punch (5d)
A printing terminal (5f)
A reception position (presentation terminal) (5e)
A release terminal (5g)
Distribution to the queues is performed by means of
the distribution list with possible modifications by
the MDCO.
If both user and terminal profile checks are fulfilled
the message is sent to the active terminal queue. If
only the terminal profile check is fulfilled or the
terminal is signed off, the message is sent to the
passive terminal queue, however, Flash messages are
sent to the MDCO for alternative distribution. If the
terminal is signed off Immediate messages are also
sent to the MDCO.
Any queue leading to a terminal position not having
security classification or allowed special handling
categories to receive will not be used. For each of
these queues, the subject will be queued for the MDCO
for selection of an alternative (6).
5.12.1.2.1.5 A̲l̲t̲e̲r̲n̲a̲t̲i̲v̲e̲ ̲D̲i̲s̲t̲r̲i̲b̲u̲t̲i̲o̲n̲
The MDP will queue messages and comments for which
the passive terminal queue was not accessible to the
MDCO for selection of alternative queue (6). The MDCO
selects this alternative queue and returns the subject
to the MDP (3c).
The supervisor can also specify that Flash and Immediate
messages and comments shall be automatically distributed
to a Duty officer terminal position in each HQ during
Quiet Hours. For Immediate message a copy is also queued
to the receipient's passive terminal queues. Messages
for coordination are not queued, but the originator
is notified that the message was not delivered.
5.12.1.2.2 F̲u̲n̲c̲t̲i̲o̲n̲a̲l̲ ̲F̲l̲o̲w̲
Following references are to points in figure 5.12.1.2.2-1:
1) A pointer to the next message waiting for distribution
is fetched from the Message Distribution Queues
(MDQ).
2) Information for distribution determination is to
be found in the associated MCB.
3) An incoming message is selected for special treatment
as referenced in point 4) or 5) if it carries any
of those characteristics.
4) CODRESS messages and messages containing special
handling instructions Exclusive, Crypto Security
or Nat. Eyes only will be sent to a terminal specified
by supervisor (PTP).
5) Other incoming messages are queued for MDCO in
case:
- Specified by supervisor parameters
- Internal handling instructions
- Missing SICs
- Illegal SCDs or SICs
6) The message is found valid for automatic distribution.
7) Which implies generation of a Distribution List.
8) MDCO may output any message on the PTP. This procedure
will then be considered as the final distribution.
9) A message reentered from MDCO (or Message Service)
for local distribution. Together with the message
is entered a Distribution List.
10) The distribution selections are checked against
the terminal profile and control tables.
If a check was unsuccessful the SCDs associated
to that terminal are flagged as undeliverable,
and procedures as referenced under 11) or 12) are
performed.
11) A note is returned to the drafter if the message
was sent for coordination.
12) Other message types are queued back to MDCO for
alternative distribution. That includes all undeliverable
message types bound for SCARS or CCIS.
13) Message distribution by placing a pointer to the
message in the terminal queues. For SCARS and CCIS
in special queues.
Figure 5.12.1.2.2-1…01…Interfaces and Functional Flow
14) Information for statistics is queued to the STP.
15) If a terminal gets unavailable (SIGN-OFF) while
a message is waiting for presentation in the active
terminal queue, the message is queued to the passive
terminal queue, except Flash and Immediate messages
which are sent to MDCO.
16) During Quiet Hours the supervisor can also specify
that Flash and Immediate messages and comments
shall be automatically redistributed to a Duty
officer terminal position in each HQ.

5.12.1.4.3 S̲e̲c̲u̲r̲i̲t̲y̲
Before sending a message or comment to a terminal queue
there will be a security control between the classification
of the message and the active terminal profile. If
no match in the classifications is found, the message
will be checked against the terminal profile. If no
match is found this time the message will be returned
to either MDCO or drafter (see functional flow).
