Requested revision
Standard: | 802.1Q-2011 | Clause: | 35.2.4 |
Clause title: | MSRP Attribute Propagation |
Rationale for revision
The only mention of 'new' in MSRP is in 35.2.4(a): "A MAD_Join.indication adds a new attribute to MAD (with then 'new' parameter, 10.2, set to TRUE)" MSRP does not define any further action to take upon receipt of 'new'. It is desireable to explicitly state any action desired, or none if no action is desired (which is presumed in this case).
Proposed text
Add a subclause after the current 35.2.6 and before 35.2.7 similar to 10.12.3 defined as: 35.2.6 Use of "new" declaration capability MSRP does not make use of the 'new' declaration capability. renumber following clause appropriately
Impact on existing networks
Without standard specified behavior, existing implementations may vary in
their MAP operation, specifically in regard to 'new'
