Re: [1904.2 TF] fields codes, field names, types, and subtypes



That does sound actually very reasonableSent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE device------ Original message------From: Glen Kramer<000006d1020766de-dmarc-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>Date: Thu, Aug 27, 2020 12:33To: STDS-1904-2-TF@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;Cc: Subject:fields codes, field names, types, and subtypesHi all As I am reading the draft with its multitude of predefined different IDs, I am wondering if it would help readers if we group various relevant IDs with common prefixes. Something like below: FID_XXX – All Field IDs (Field codes)  [or maybe FC_]                FID_DST_ADDR                FID_SRC_ADDR                FID_ETH_TYPE                FID_SUBTYPE FnXxxYyy – all field names [or FldXxxYxx]                FnDstAddr                FnSubtype                …ETYPE_XXX for various Ethertype constants [Or maybe ETHERTYPE_ or ETHTYPE_ or ET_ or ETP_ or ETHP_]We only u!
 se two in the draft:                ETYPE_VLC (0xA8C8)                ETYPE_SP (slow protocol 0x88-09)               
 STYPE_XXX  for all 1904.2 subtypes [or SUBTYPE_ or ST_ or SUBT_]These are all subtypes we have:                STYPE_VLC                STYPE_OAM                STYPE_OMCI                STYPE_EPD (currently L3_subtype)                STYPE_L2 Please, let me know if you think this is a good idea, and in case of various choices, what are your preferences. Thank you,-Glen
