3.4.1 Abstract Data Model

The server maintains the following information to use in responding to client queries and commands. Unless otherwise specified, zero indicates success.

This section describes a conceptual model of possible data organization that an implementation maintains to participate in this protocol. The described organization is provided to facilitate the explanation of how the protocol behaves. This document does not mandate that implementations adhere to this model as long as their external behavior is consistent with that described in this document.
