In both cases the value should have been Data-out Buffer Size. I will write a proposal to fix this. Thanks for pointing this out.

In Section 9.2.6.2.3.3 ST_ITS2:Initiator_Send_Frame state specs says : "If the confirmation is Transmission Status (Frame Transmitted), and the Transmit Frame request was for a COMMAND frame requesting a write operation, or a write DATA frame where the number of data bytes that have been transmitted is less than the ""request byte count"" and the write data length from the previous XFER_RDY frame, then this state shall wait to receive one of the following confirmations: a) Transmission Status (ACK Received); b) Transmission Status (NAK Received); c) Transmission Status (ACK/NAK Timeout); d) Transmission Status (Connection Lost Without ACK/NAK); or e) XFER_RDY Arrived message." Question : ""Request byte argument"" is used only at Target side.Its not defined for initiator side .then whats its meaning in this context.. Please let me know....
