    RE: FCencap: List ALL SOF/EOF codes



    I would like to add another option to Elizabeth's list :
    Option 5:
    
    Add Class 4 to the tables in FC-BB-2 and reference these codes.
    
    I will vote for Option 5.

    (Chair hat on)
    
    Let me jump back in here, and summarize as I see it:
    
    Codes from FC-BB cannot be taken intact, since there are invalid codes
    in that specification.
    Codes initially trimmed in January of this year, but Ralph correctly
    points out, that was prior to the formation of the FC encapsulation
    draft (e.g. discussion pertained directly to FCIP; did not take into
    consideration iFCP)
    
    That said, we can modify the current FC encapsulation draft to include
    other classes of service, if we so choose.
    
    We can choose to
    1) Keep the table as is. 
    Note: The current SOF/EOF codes defined in the FC encapsulation draft
    match the currently defined FC-BB-2 subset.
    
    2) Add Class 1 codes
    Note:  FC-MI (technical report, not a standard) does not support Class
    1.
    Note2: Practicality of Class 1 over IP questioned.
    
    3) Add Class 4 codes
    Note:  Class 4 work is ongoing, but SOF/EOF codes currently defined for
    class 4 unchanged.
    
    4) Add both class 1 and class 4 codes
    
    I would like to solicit input from everyone on what codes people feel
    should be included in the FC encapsulation draft.
    Note:  Drafts following FC encapsulation may restrict classes of service
    that draft supports.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Elizabeth

    On the specific topic of supported SOF and EOF codes the ietf documents
    should be driven by the specification provided in the *most relevant *
    document which in this case happens to be FC-BB-2 ant FC-MI.  FC-MI
    should
    be kept out of this.
    
    If we simply accept to adopt the SOF and EOF codes listed for BB-2 the
    problem is solved. FYI, BB-2 only supports Class 2, 3, and F codes.
    I don't see why we are making a big deal about this.

    Hi Folks:

    The last time I checked, the FC-MI spec was not a "standards track"
    document
    (to use IETF terminology). If that's still the case, is FC-MI's
    prohibition
    of class 1 a sufficient basis for precluding class 1 support in the
    encapsulation spec?
