Requested revision
Standard:802-1CB-2017Clause:A.2.4
Clause title:Listener end system
Rationale for revision
Listener end system PICS item LE15 is an optional conformance
 item (see 5.11(h)), as shown in the Status column, but the only
allowed response in the Support column is "Yes [ ]".
Note that LE5, which requires the MatchRecoveryAlgorithm is a
mandatory item (see 5.9(d)).
This item, LE15, uses the optional (for Individual recovery
functions) VectorRecoveryAlgorithm.
Proposed text
Add a "No [ ]" to the existing "Yes [ ]" in the Support column.
This would make the Support column in LE15 identical to that
found in LE13 (for example).
Impact on existing networks
I suspect that existing users would understand this, but perhaps all 802.1CB systems that have been through conformance testing support this feature so they would have answered "Yes".
