Good question.
 
Based on the bit layout proposed in 07-091 for the SMP functions, I think bit 4 should be the MSB and bit 7 should be the LSB.  That way, in the SMP functions, it will have its natural encoding.
 
I suggest you post this Q&A to the T10 reflector to make sure nobody else has assumed the opposite.

Rob…

Can you clarify for me the bit ordering for the REQUESTED LOGICAL LINK RATE in the SNW-3 settings?
The example uses "9", which is the same bit flipped or not.
Would be great to get a 1.5 example added to spec too since that would show correct bit positions.

Thanks!
