is a channel parameter control request to which a response is identified by id u201c 67 u201d a further example is show of a channel termination request and a response in packets 710 and 712 respectively here both the request and response do not require parameters since a termination of a connection is being requested and therefore the length of a message with id u201c 68 u201d or u201c 69 u201d is u201c 0 u201d a process flow in accordance with at least one embodiment of the present invention is disclosed in fig8 in step 800 the id number of a packet is checked to determine in what range the id number falls this check may occur for example using previously discussed mapping table 522 if the id number is in the range 64 127 in step 802 then the packet should be forwarded to the pal 224 in step 804 and further decoded to determine the command being issued in step 806 the decoding of the command being issued may occur using mapping table 524 after the id is decoded and or processed and the packet is forwarded the process may restart again at step 800 alternatively if the id number does not fall in the range 64 127 then the packet should be routed to w profile layer 222 in step 808 if the id number is in the range 128 191 then per step 810 the information contained the packet is profile control information step 812 if the information is not in the range 128 191 the packet contains profile data information per step 814 in either case the profile.
