transaction:   a transaction may be either an incoming message
               or an outgoing message.

incoming message, type A:
            an incoming message is by definition one destinated
            for the ACDN Host Environment. The average length
            of an incoming message as received by the ACDN network
            is 34 characters. The internal length is determined
            by adding the associated network header of 20 bytes,
            i.e. to 54 bytes.

outgoing message, type B:
            an outgoing message is by definition one originated
            at the ACDN Host Environment.
            The average length of an outgoing message as received
            by the ACDN network is 234 characters. The internal
            length is determined by adding the associated network
            header of 20 bytes, i.e. to 254 bytes.

message, type B:
            a type B message is one which is subject to PMS.
            It may be originated at, and destinated for by any
            of the environments ecternal to the network. The
            average length of an type B message, whether incoming
            or outgoing, is 348 characters. The internal length
            is determined by adding the associated network header
            of 20 bytes, i.e. to 368 bytes.

node systems:  the CR80 SCP and NSP complex at any of the three
               locations: Toronto, Montreal and Winnipeg. All
               includes the software packages SCS, NSS, TAS
               and HAS and as required ENAS and INAS.

user:       travel agent

operator:      EMH/NMH

supervisor: NCC operator (AC network monitors)
