ADD-1: Addendum Continuation Pointer (ST) 00066

Definition: This field is used to define the continuation of the prior segment in a continuation message. See section 2.10.2, "Continuation messages and segments" for details. When the ADD is sent after the segment being continued, it contains no fields. It is only a marker that the previous segment is being continued in a subsequent message. Thus fields 1-N are not present. The sequence designation, 1-N, means the remainder of the fields in the segment being continued. These remainder of the segment being continued fields are present only when the ADD is sent with a continuation message.
