Requested revision
Standard:802.1Q-2011Clause:17.7.14
Clause title:Definitions of the IEEE8021-SRP MIB module
Rationale for revision
Referring to page 841 of the 802.1Q-2011 PDF, the definition of the 
object ieee8021SrpReservationStreamAge is not proper. Specifically, the 
text after the first sentence is improper.  The first sentence is 
sufficient to allow for Endstations (Talkers or Listeners) or Bridges to 
set the value however the implementation determines endstation stream 
age,  and via 35.2.1.4c for Bridges.


ieee8021SrpReservationStreamAge OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Unsigned32
UNITS "seconds"
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The number of seconds since the reservation was established
on this port. Talkers shall report this as the seconds
since the first receipt of the Talker Advertise or Talker
Failed. Listeners shall report this as the number of
seconds since the destination_address was first added to
the Dynamic Reservations Entries."
REFERENCE "35.2.1.4c"
::= { ieee8021SrpReservationsEntry 8 }
Proposed text
Change the definition of the object ieee8021SrpReservationStreamAge to:

ieee8021SrpReservationStreamAge OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Unsigned32
UNITS "seconds"
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The number of seconds since the reservation was established
on this port."
REFERENCE "35.2.1.4c"
::= { ieee8021SrpReservationsEntry 8 }
Impact on existing networks
None - the current definition is nonsensical
