(Item 8218) DLUR processing of short RSP(BIND) RUs -------------------------------------------------- DLUR testing uncovered a condition not described in the architecture, specifically how the DLUR BF should process short RSP(BIND) RUs. The RSP(BIND) format does describe an extended short response to a nonnegotiable BIND, but the DLUR can receive an even shorter response, and there is currently no direction on how to process it. NCP BF takes a short RSP(BIND) and converts it into an extended short RSP(BIND). What needs clarification in the DLUR architecture is how to convert a short RSP(BIND) into an extended short RSP(BIND). The document will be updated to include the following: The short +RSP(BIND) is converted into an extended short form RSP(BIND) by: - zeroing 31 (X'1F') bytes for the extended short form RSP(BIND) - setting the RU code to BIND (X'31') - setting the BIND type to nonnegotiable - including the SLU max send size and the PLU max send size from the BIND request - setting the whole-BIUs required indicator on if the RSP(BIND) will be reextended - setting the pacing fields in the RSP(BIND) according to normal negotiation rules for the PLU stage: * if the ASP indicator will be set to 1, then set the one-stage pacing indicators and zero out the pacing window size fields * if the ASP indicator will be set to 0, then set the pacing window size fields to the BIND request values - setting the limited resource bit if the link station is a limited resource link (LU 6.2 RSP(BIND)s only) and the pacing values for the SLU stage are saved so that fixed session pacing will be used with the window sizes specified in the BIND request.
