Requested revision
Standard: | 802.1Qbg | Clause: | 17 |
Clause title: | Management Protocol |
Rationale for revision
The description for the ieee8021BridgeEvbVDPCounterDiscontinuity object
is 'The time (in hundredths of a second) since the last counter
discontinuity.' and while I assume it is either associated with, or
derived from, ifCounterDiscontinuityTime there appears to be no further
definition of this object and there is no reference subclause.
Proposed text
The discontinuity referred to is ieee8021BridgeEvbVsiDbTable entry
creations which can occur at any time since these entries can be created
and destroyed dynamically along with the VDP machine instances. The
timer which may have a discontinuity is the
ieee8021BridgeEvbVSITimeSinceCreate.
Some text should be added to the
ieee8021BridgeEvbVDPCounterDiscontinuity indicating that it is set
when the ieee8021BridgeEvbVSIDBEntry is created. For instance update
"The time (in hundredths of a second) since the last counter discontinuity"
with " The time (in hundredths of a second) since the
ieee8021BridgeEvbVsiTable row was created."
In addition, the ieee8021BridgeEvbCounterDiscontinuity should be included
in table 17-26.
Impact on existing networks
Requires a new MIB revision.
