Hello OSI folks

	Does any of you know how to decode an OSI 8473 packet that
	has as the first byte set to 0.  The 8473 spec says that
	"if the first byte is 0" then the packet is an "Inactive
	Network Layer Protocol" and then it goes on to define the
	packet as follows:

		----------------------------
                |Network Layer Protocol Id |
                ----------------------------
		|  DATA                    |
                |                          |
                ----------------------------

	the Network Layer Protocol Id = 0 but there is no information
	as to what is in the data portion.  


			Thank you in advance for any help.
