Thanks for the reply. I've read Netscape's SSL 3.0 draft twice...most of
the information is simply data type specification in Baukus Naur Form
with no reference to the construction of the packet itself.
It's not a packet protocol -- SSL sits atop TCP. Perhaps this is the source of your confusion? There are several protocols, and a session and connection state. The Record Layer protocol handles the data messages.
The BNF you refer to is probably the ASN.1 notation, which defines the data structure encoding on the wire.
