RReddy:
Mypreference,basedonwhatwediscussedlastnightisthelatter.Expressethelengthinbits.Butis2^7=128enough?
TheCBPburstisatotalof836bits.AccountingforCBPMACPDUheader,Istillthelength>128.PlusIhavesomeissueswithCBP,thatIwanttobringupduringtheCoexistenceandnextMACcalls.Wecaninitiateanotheremaildiscussionforthat.
GChounaird:
Agreewiththelengthinbits.However,thisIEonlytransmitstheCBPIEsthatneedtobeincludedtotheCBPattheCPE,nottheentireCBP.Isuggest8bitsforthelength,whichwouldgivesusupto31CBPIEstobeaddedtotheCBP.Thatshouldbeplenty.Iwillalignalltheotherlengthsto8bitsin#ofbits.
RReddy:
However,Gerald,regardingtheUS-MAPCBPChannellE.IknowthatCURRENTLYthisistospecifyhowmanyCBPIEsarebeinggiventotheCPEtousetoconstructaCBPBurst.Frankly,thisisafeaturethatI'mnotentirelycomfortablewith.IwouldbemoreinfavoroftheBSconstructingtheCBPburstandandjustusingtheCPEasadumbterminaltorelayit.ThiswouldsimplifytheCPE,e.g.allowconcentrationofCBPbursttxlogicandCBPsecurityattheBS.ThishasbeenbroughtinCID169-Apurva(discussedinBeijing)andCID408-myself.169hasbeencounteredandtheprinciplebehinditwasaccepted.So,asfarastheCBPChannelIEisconcerned,itshouldreallycoverthelengthoftheCBPburstminusCBPMACPDUheader(hopingthatCBPMACPDUheaderdoesn'thavevariablelength).
