Requested revision
Standard: | IEEE Std 802.1CB-2017 | Clause: | 6.6 |
Clause title: | Active Destination MAC and VLAN Stream identification |
Rationale for revision
All the passive stream identification functions (6.4, 6.5, 6.7, 6.8) have a statement along the lines of: “It discards the stream_handle subparameter passed down the stack.” For 6.6 Active Destination MAC and VLAN Stream identification such a statement is missing. It is unclear if it shall also discard the stream_handle on the down path (as suggested in 6.2: “The other SAP connects to the lower layers. This SAP can, but typically does not, include the stream_handle”) or not.
Proposed text
Add a statement on stream_handle passing for the down direction. Likely the same as for the other ident functions.
Impact on existing networks
Make the behaviour consistent.
