 The type of each NDTP-Control message can be found after reading the first  
octet. The length of each NDTP-Control message can be computed upon reading  
its fixed-size part. No message is shorter than 3 octets.

-An implementation SHOULD expunge unused state to prevent denial-of-service  
attacks, or unbounded memory usage, on the server.  For example, if the  
full control message is not received within some number of minutes after it  
is expected, the TCP connection associated with the NDTP-Control session  
SHOULD be dropped.  In absence of other considerations, 10 minutes seems  
like a reasonable upper bound.
