[ipcdn] pktcRingCadence explanation changed from sig-draft-5 to sig-draft-7
Hi,
I have a question on ring
cadence repeatable characteristics.
The IETF draft-5 has
the description for pktcRingCadnece as below:
PktcRingCadence ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"
This object represents a ring cadence and repeatable
Characteristics in a bit string format. The first two
octets of the bit string represent the length in bits of
the
duration of the cadence (i.e., the number of bits that
follow the third octet). The third octet is used to
represent repeatable characteristics. 00000000 means
repeatable, and 10000000 means non repeatable. Each bit
after the third octet represents 50 ms and 1 represents
ring and 0 represents silent. The first bit of the fourth
octet is the first bit of the ring cadence. All bits are
counted in network order such that the octet with only the
first bit set will look like 10000000 bit sequence. A
total of 264 bits can be set to represent 13200 ms of
total cadence cycle. There will be at most 3 on/off
transitions per cadence period."
SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE(4..36))
But the
draft-7 has
This object provides an encoding scheme for ring
cadences,
including repeatability characteristics.
All
fields in this object MUST be encoded in network-byte
order.
The
first three higher order octets are reserved. The
octets
that follow are used to encode a 'bit-string', with
each bit
corresponding to 50 milliseconds. A bit value of
'1'
indicates the presence of a ring-tone and a bit value
of '0'
indicates the absence of a ring-tone, for that
duration
(50 ms) (Note: A minimum number of octets
required
to encode the bit-string MUST be used).
The first
two of the reserved octets MUST indicate the
length of
the encoded cadence (in bits) and MUST range
between 1
and 264. (Note: The length in bits MUST also be
consistent with the number of octets that encode the
cadence).
The MTA MUST ignore any unused bits in the last
octet,
but MUST reflect the value as provided on
subsequent SNMP GETs.
The third of the reserved octets indicates 'repeatability'
and MUST
be either 0x80 or 0x00 - the former value
indicating 'repeatability' and the latter indicating 'non-
repeatability'.
The MTA
MUST reject attempts to set a value that violates
any of
the above
requirements"
SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE(4..36))
My
question here is the item marked in RED is changed from draft-5 to draft-7. Is
it a typo or the intended changes?? 0x80 is changed from
non-repeatable(draft-5) to repeatable(draft-7)!!!!
Thx,
