NAME
     samp - Security Attribute Modulation Protocol

DESCRIPTION
     SAMP is the protocol TSIX uses to communicate the attributes between
     systems.  SAMP consists of a header and a list of attributes that gets
     prepended to outgoing data as if it were user data.  The TCB at one end
     puts the headers on and the TCB at the other end pulls them off before
     the data gets passed to the user process.

     For UDP, SAMP attributes accompany each packet.  For TCP, on initial
     connection the full set of attributes are exchanged before control is
     passed back to the application.  If the attributes received from the
     remote host are not within the range of the user process the connections
     is dropped with reset.  A server process will never see the failed
     connection attempt, the client will see "connection closed by remote
     host".
