+<H3>6.1 Default bus</H3>
+By default, the bus used is <em><strong>127.255.255.255:2010 </em></strong> ie the application will be connected on the port 2010 of the local machine it runs on.</p>
+<P>You can set the bus to be used by setting the environment variable <CODE>IVYBUS</CODE> or by implementing the option <CODE>-b</CODE> in the application.</P>
<P>
+<H3>6.2 Connexion to ivy</h3>
+<p>By convention, the message <em> application-name READY </em> is to be used when initializing the connexion to ivy.
+<p>Example:
+<p><CODE>IvyInit ("TOTO", "TOTO READY",...)</CODE>
+<H3>6.3 Syntax of messages</h3>
+The syntax of the messages exchanged is totally free. However, the following convention is recommended:
+<menu>
+<li>The message syntax is <CODE>Subject Attributes</CODE></li>
+<li>A Subject is an object, named in a hierarchical form: <CODE>ObjectClass1:object1.ObjectClass2:object2...</CODE></li>
+<li>Attributes are pairs <CODE>(attribute-name, value)</CODE></li>
+</menu>
+Example:
+<p><CODE>AIRCRAFT:LIB720 Moved lat=46.1697 lon=2.0844 vx=-36 vy=-463 afl=330 rate=0 heading=184 ground_speed=465
+mach_speed=0 tendance=0 time=24600 cfl=330</CODE>
