Requested revision
Standard:802.1Q-2011Clause:17.7.14
Clause title:Definitions of the IEEE8021-SRP MIB module
Rationale for revision
Referring to page 841 of the 802.1Q-2011 PDF, the definition of the object ieee8021SrpReservationStreamAge is not proper. Specifically, the text after the first sentence is improper. The first sentence is sufficient to allow for Endstations (Talkers or Listeners) or Bridges to set the value however the implementation determines endstation stream age, and via 35.2.1.4c for Bridges. ieee8021SrpReservationStreamAge OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Unsigned32 UNITS "seconds" MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The number of seconds since the reservation was established on this port. Talkers shall report this as the seconds since the first receipt of the Talker Advertise or Talker Failed. Listeners shall report this as the number of seconds since the destination_address was first added to the Dynamic Reservations Entries." REFERENCE "35.2.1.4c" ::= { ieee8021SrpReservationsEntry 8 }
Proposed text
Change the definition of the object ieee8021SrpReservationStreamAge to: ieee8021SrpReservationStreamAge OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Unsigned32 UNITS "seconds" MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The number of seconds since the reservation was established on this port." REFERENCE "35.2.1.4c" ::= { ieee8021SrpReservationsEntry 8 }
Impact on existing networks
None - the current definition is nonsensical
