Exchange
The basic mechanism which transfers information consisting of one or more related non-concurrent sequences
which may flow in the same or opposite directions. An exchange may span multiple Class 1 dedicated connec-
tions. The exchange is identified by an Originator Exchange_Identifier (OX_ID) and a Responder
Exchange_Identifier (RX_ID).
