RECEIVE Call
CLOSED STATE (i.e., TCB does not exist)
If the user does not have access to such a connection, return
"error: connection illegal for this process".
Otherwise return "error: connection does not exist".
LISTEN STATE
SYN-SENT STATE
SYN-RECEIVED STATE
Queue for processing after entering ESTABLISHED state. If there
is no room to queue this request, respond with "error:
insufficient resources".
ESTABLISHED STATE
FIN-WAIT-1 STATE
FIN-WAIT-2 STATE
If insufficient incoming segments are queued to satisfy the
request, queue the request. If there is no queue space to
remember the RECEIVE, respond with "error: insufficient
resources".
Reassemble queued incoming segments into receive buffer and return
to user. Mark "push seen" (PUSH) if this is the case.
If RCV.UP is in advance of the data currently being passed to the
user notify the user of the presence of urgent data.
When the TCP takes responsibility for delivering data to the user
that fact must be communicated to the sender via an
acknowledgment. The formation of such an acknowledgment is
described below in the discussion of processing an incoming
segment.
CLOSE-WAIT STATE
Since the remote side has already sent FIN, RECEIVEs must be
satisfied by text already on hand, but not yet delivered to the
user. If no text is awaiting delivery, the RECEIVE will get a
"error: connection closing" response. Otherwise, any remaining
text can be used to satisfy the RECEIVE.
CLOSING STATE
LAST-ACK STATE
TIME-WAIT STATE
Return "error: connection closing".
