[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] FCIP V07 suggestionHi, In the FCIP draft V07 (<draft-ietf-ips-fcovertcpip-07.txt>) page 28, it says: "After the TCP connect request has been accepted, the FCIP Entity SHALL wait for the FCIP Short Frame sent by the originator of the TCP connect request as the first bytes received through the Encapsulated Frame Receiver Portal on the accepted connection." I think this text is confusing. The "FCIP Short Frame" cannot be received through the "Encapsulated Frame Receiver Portal" because this Portal does not exist when the "FCIP Short Frame" is to be received: (1) According to the draft (page 13), Portals (including "Encapsulated Frame Receiver Portal") belong to the FCIP_DE. This implies (to me) that Portals cannot exist without their corresponding FCIP_DE. (2) Again according to the draft (page 26 and page 29), FCIP_DE is created only after "FCIP Short Frame" are exchanged between the originator and recipient of the TCP connection. It might make sense for the aforementioned text in the draft be changed to: "After the TCP connect request has been accepted, the FCIP Entity SHALL wait for the FCIP Short Frame sent by the originator of the TCP connect request as the first bytes received on the accepted connection."
