The source address that a frame is checked
against is the SAS source address received in the open address frame. The
current SAS-2 does not pass that information from the link layer to the
port layer. I will request a change that will add a SAS source address
argument to the connection opened confirmation.
The SAS source address is already passed
between the port and transport layer as part of the frame received confirmation.
As defined in section 9.2.6.1 ST state machines overview.

connection info in target transport

Hi all
Specs sas2r06 says that Transport layer may check the hashed source &
destination address in the recieved frame based on the "connection
information"
Taken from specs sas2r06 page:422
---------------------------------------------------------------
If the frame type is correct relative to the Frame Received
confirmation, then this state machine may check
that the hashed source SAS address matches the SAS address of the SAS
port that transmitted the frame
and that the hashed destination SAS address matches the SAS address of
the SAS port that received the
frame based on the "connection information."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ques:- How Target side checks the received address for the first
recieved frame(eg recieved Command frame Source & destination address).
if Connection info is maintained by the recieved Open address frame.
then how these are communicated to transport layer
Please help...
Thanks & regards
Sandeep
