call 11/10/2015 notes
Folks,
Start: 11/10/2015 6AM PDT
End: 11/10/2015 7:00AM PDT
Present:
Jouni Korhonen
Kevin Bross
Richard Tse
Sriram Devi
Steinar Björnstad
Xhafer Krasnigi
Duncan Cockburn
Gareth Edwards
Peter Turnbull
Richard Maiden
Actual Agenda:
* Hillsboro f2f aftermath
* completing the sequence number discussion
* flow id and pkt_type discussion
* length of RoE packet
Discussion:
* Timestamps and sequence numbers OK to be in separate flows. No mixing of those in the same
stream. Thus the T-flag is also unnecessary. Agreed to remove the T-flag.
* Proposal to rename sequence number to "ordering indication field" or alike. Agreed in principle.
* More discussion needed on flow_id and pkt_type. Which one is the highest in the hierarchy dictating
the characteristics of the packet handling.
* Questions on timestamp and how it is constructed. Jouni went through the details quickly and pointed
that the timestamp is actually the presentation time. It was questioned why the algorithm in appendix
uses 64-bit timestamp instead of e.g. PTP timestamp. Jouni promised to provide details in the reflector.
* More discussion needed on the need of the length field in the RoE header.
Other business:
* AP Jouni: initiate the length field discussion
* AP Jouni: initiate the discussion pkt_type vs flow_id
* AP Jouni: explain the timestamp how it is currently in the RoE spec
* AP Richard: remove T-bit from the next 1904.3 spec text & pictures-
Next call 11/24/2015.
