Query : Who assigns the transaction label ( 6 bit entry in the first =
quadlet of any primary packet) ?

The transaction layer services description in IEEE Std-1394-1995 says =
that the transaction label is indicated to the application and is sent =
back by the application to transaction layer whithout any change during =
response.=20

The SBP2 document says ( in the description of fetch agent state =
machine)=20
" if a read response is received whose source_ID, destination_ID and =
tl(transaction label) fields match the destination_ID , source_ID and =
the tl fields, respectively of the read request...... "=20
>From this i conclude  that the SBP2 knows the transaction label of the =
read request and SBP2 assigns the tl.

But the transction layer is not expecting the transaction label in the =
read request ( as per the 1394 std. document)

Regards,

Nitin
