The two instances of request byte count
in section 9.2.6.2.3.3 are an error. In both cases the value should have
been Data-out Buffer Size. I will write a proposal to fix this.

request byte count in ST_ITS state machine

Hi all
I am referring to sas2r06 version.
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....
Thanks
Regards
Sandeep
