Howdy,
To remove the
ability for a third party to issue an REC, here is the proposed text for
FC-LS:
4.2.42.1 Description
This ELS shall be used only for
purposes specific to an FC-4. The REC (Read Exchange Concise) Extended Link Service requests an Nx_Port to
return Exchange information for the RX_ID and
OX_ID originated by the S_ID specified in the Payload of the request
Sequence. The S_ID specified in the Payload of the request Sequence may
differ from address identifiers of both the source and destination of the REC request
itself. A Read Exchange Consise Request
shall only be accepted if the Originator Nx_Port or the Responder Nx_Port of the
target Exchange makes the request. The specification of OX_ID and RX_ID
shall be provided for the destination Nx_Port to locate the status information
requested. A Responder destination Nx_Port shall use the RX_ID and verify that
the OX_ID is consistent, unless the RX_ID is unassigned (i.e., RX_ID = FFFFh).
If the RX_ID is unassigned in the request, the Responder shall identify the
Exchange by means of the S_ID specified in the Payload of the request Sequence
and OX_ID. An Originator Nx_Port shall use the OX_ID and verify that the RX_ID
is consistent.
Please review
the proposed text and be ready for a vote at the October T11 FC-LS working group
meeting.
Thanks...Dave
