Requested revision
Standard: | 802.1Q-2011 | Clause: | 35 |
Clause title: | Stream Registration Protocol |
Rationale for revision
Received from Michelle Turner (IEEE editing staff):
The Working Group chair from P1722.1 contacted us with the follow
inquiry. Can you please advise on how we should answer this. It looks
like an error was introduced. The correct term should be Stream
Reservation Protocol as indicated in the Definitions Clause and the
first paragraph of Clause 35. I'm not sure if this error was corrected
in one of the recently published amendments. I assume that he should
include the correct name of the protocol, but thought it was best to
check with you first. Thanks.
In our Section 3.2 we have a definition for the term "Active Stream,"
and this term comes from IEEE Std 802.1Q-2011 Clause 35. The title of
Clause 35 in that standard is "Stream Registration Protocol" yet this
is a mistake in IEEE Std 802.1Q-2011 - The proper name for the section
should be "Stream Reservation Protocol", as shown in the first
paragraph of Clause 35 which states:
The Stream Reservation Protocol (SRP) utilizes three signaling
protocols, MMRP (10.9), MVRP (Clause 11) and MSRP (35.1) to establish
stream reservations across a bridged network.
As the accepted name of the protocol is "Stream Reservation Protocol",
is it acceptable for me to refer to the clause as: IEEE Std
802.1Q-2011 Clause 35, "Stream Reservation Protocol"
As I expect that 802.1Q will get fixed? Or am I required to refer to
it by the incorrect name? Or may I just drop the clause name?
Proposed text
Make the title of Clause 35 consistent with the definition for SRP in Clause 4.
Impact on existing networks
None.
