So, since RES is now obsolete I would propose:
a. Exchange originating S_ID field value shall match the S_ID field
value in the FC Header, or
b. obsolete the Exchange originating S_ID field in the REC payload (and
the associated address fields in the Reply too).

The presence of the S_ID in the request is a legacy of having
been adapted from RES, which had a similar capability.

Howdy,
FC-LS currently specifies the Exchange originating S_ID field in
the REC payload may be different than the address identifier of the
source (and destination) of the REC. From FC-LS rev 1.2 subclause
4.2.55.1:
"This ELS shall be used only for purposes specific to an FC-4.
The REC (Read Exchange Concise) Extended Link Service requests an
Nx_Port to return Exchange information for the RX_ID and OX_ID
originated by the S_ID specified in the Payload of the request Sequence.
The S_ID specified in the Payload of the request Sequence may differ
|from address identifiers of both the source and destination of the REC
request itself."
This (third party) capability is problematic for FC-IFR
implementations, since the information needed to perform address
translation may not be known.
Does anyone have an inplementation where the REC payload
Exchange originating S_ID field does not match the S_ID in the FC
Header?
Thanks...Dave
