RE: FCIP Special Frame Length

["Elizabeth G. Rodriguez" <Elizabeth.G.Rodriguez@123mail.net>]

Hi Andy,

Thank you for pointing this out.

All:  The issue here is that in word 3 of the special frame, the frame
length of the special frame is specified as 0b0000010010, and it's
complement as 0b1111101101.
These values should be 0b0000010011 and 0b1111101100 respectively.

I will be taking action to have this corrected prior to publication as an
RFC.

Thanks,

Subject: FCIP Special Frame Length

I was reviewing the most recent FCIP draft
(draft-ietf-ips-fcovertcpip-12.txt) and noticed that in section 8.1 the
length of the FSF is defined as the constant value of 18 words, even though
the frame is actually 19 words long.  The FSF size described in 14.2.2 of
FC-BB-2 is in accordance with the latter length.  If this was not done
erroneously, might someone be able to explain the rationale behind this
discrepancy in lengths?
