RE: Common Encapsulation: Proposal for time stamp Flag

Charles:

Your requirement stems from a ease of implementation and a flag bit although
redundant would be usedful. Correct?

Subject: Common Encapsulation: Proposal for time stamp Flag


Hi:

According to the encapsulation specification, the time fields are checked to
see if a time stamp is present by testing each word to see if it is zero.
From an implementation standpoint, a single flag bit in the common flags
byte seems the more efficient alternative.

Comments?
