Mar 2012 Plenary |
The general belief is that the scope of changes required to address this item are beyond the current scope vehicles that are open. Any changes here would be effectively undoing previous agreements and thus this item will be left in the ‘received’ state for consideration in a future revision. This item is related to 0023 as well with similar resolution. The location of the queuing functions (8.6.6) are documented and are above the 6.11 functions. The location of flow classification (8.6.5) is more tricky. It was specifically taken out of figure 22-2 in the 2011 revision because it is not possible to place it in the figure unambiguously. The flow meters operate on all frames received at a port that have at least one eligible egress port after being processed by the active topology enforcement, ingress filtering, frame filtering, and egress filtering functions. There is no place in Figure 22-2 that that corresponds to this. Other alternatives would be to remove Figure 22-2 entirely, or to restructure it so that all the filtering functions, including frame filtering and egress filtering, are shown on the ingress path and the results of this filtering carried explictly to the relay.
Either of these would have substantial ripple effects in the text surrounding the Figure and in the rest of the document. |
