Referring to NWG/RFC: 11, it appears that file transmissions over auxiliary connections will require some mechanism to specify "END-OF- FILE." It is proposed that a length 0 (zero) message be used for this purpose. Figure 1 shows the format:

|<---32 bits--->|<---32 bits--->|<----16 bits---->|<------?------>| +---------------+---------------+-----------------+---------------+ | leader | marking | checksum | padding | +---------------+---------------+-----------------+---------------+

                            Figure 1
