3.1.5.1.3 Receiving Connect Accept Message

  • Article

The structure and fields of the Connect Accept Message are specified in section 2.2.3.2.

This MUST be the first message a voice client receives from a voice server in the situation where the voice server accepts the connect request from the voice client. The client MUST receive this message only after it has successfully sent a Connect Request Message. The client processes only the first Connect Accept Message it receives and ignores any others it receives.

When the client receives this message it SHOULD check its local capabilities to ensure that it can support the specified codec. If it cannot support the specified codec, then the client will not send any more messages. If the client can support the specified codec, it SHOULD reply with a Client Capability Confirmation Message.

The voice client SHOULD update the value of its Current Voice Server DVID to match the DVID of the sender of the Connect Accept Message. The DVID value is determined differently depending on the DirectPlay Protocol version.<1>
