Issue 1 is already fixed per Maintenance #32
Technical review of issues 2 & 3 assigned to Norm Finn. Initial view:
The text of 9.2.5.7 makes it very clear that msgTxInterval is per-agent (per destination MAC address). However, the MIB variable lldpV2MessageTxInterval is per-system. There is clearly a problem that needs to be fixed. These points need investigation :
1. Is the list in 199 complete and accurate?
2. Should we fix the MIB to have more functionality?
3. Should we fix the state machine text to match the MIB but have less functionality? |

issue 2: The text of 9.2.5.7 makes it very clear that msgTxInterval is per-agent (per destination MAC address). However, the MIB variable lldpV2MessageTxInterval is per-system. There is clearly a problem that needs to be fixed. Norm Finn will study further…
Issue 3: The text in the MIB certainly differs from the text in section 9.2.5.22. The MIB has no +1, 9.2.5.22 does. The corresponding text in 802.1AB-2005 doesn't have the +1. Clearly a conscious change was made in the 2009 text, but not to the MIB. As to which one is correct, I'd lean towards the +1. The difference is that, without the +1, the receiver times out at exactly the same time that the Nth frame is expected to arrive. The +1 makes much more sense. Fix MIB DESCRIPTION |

Issue 1 is already fixed per Maintenance #32
Issue 2: The text of 9.2.5.7 makes it very clear that msgTxInterval (et al) is per-agent (per destination MAC address). However, the MIB variable lldpV2MessageTxInterval is per-system.
Solve by adding per-instance variables in parallel to the current variables. The current global variables now supply default values for new rows created in the per-instance variables.
Do not delete the current universal variables, but make it clear in the DESCRIPTIONS of the new variables added to lldpV2ManAddrConfigTxPortsEntry that the default value of these variables when a new row is created is the current value of the corresponding global variables that now exist. This goes in revised DESCRIPTION clauses of the current variables, also, of course.
Per Agent MIB objects should be maintained under lldpV2PortConfigTable. The new table would be as follows:
lldpV2PortConfigTable
lldpV2PortConfigIfIndex (Table index)
lldpV2PortConfigDestAddressIndex (Table index)
lldpV2PortConfigAdminStatus adminStatus, 9.2.5.1
lldpV2MessageTxInterval msgTxInterval, 9.2.5.7
lldpV2MessageTxHoldMultiplier msgTxHold, 9.2.5.6
lldpV2ReinitDelay reinitDelay, 9.2.5.10
lldpV2NotificationInterval msgTxInterval, 9.2.5.7
lldpV2TxCreditMax txCreditMax, 9.2.5.17
lldpV2MessageFastTx msgFastTx, 9.2.5.5
lldpV2TxFastInit txFastInit, 9.2.5.19
lldpV2PortConfigNotificationEnable —
lldpV2PortConfigTLVsTxEnable 9.1.2.1

TTL = min(65535, (lldpV2MessageTxInterval * lldpV2MessageTxHoldMultiplier) + 1) |
