Referring to NWG/RFC: 11, it appears that file transmissions over auxiliary connections will require some mechanism to specify "END-OF- FILE." It is proposed that a length 0 (zero) message be used for this purpose. Figure 1 shows the format:

←–32 bits—>

←—16 bits—→

←—–?——>

+—————+—————+—————–+—————+

leader

marking

checksum

padding

+—————+—————+—————–+—————+
