RE: Urgent: draft-ietf-rap-frameworkpib-08.txt - additional last call

["Romascanu, Dan (Dan)" <dromasca@avaya.com>]

At the request of Bert Wijnen, I have looked on some aspects related tot he way the 802 filters and markers are implemented. I sent a set of comments to the editors on 5/13, and they have been partially acknowledged by Ravi Sahita. However, I do not see any of the changes that I suggested implemented in this latest release.

Here are my comments again.

- The current scheme allows only for exact matching for VlanId. This does not allow for any range or wildcarding operations. Did you consider defining a VlanIdMask object, similar to the one defined for SA and DA?
- What is the reason to use SYNTAX of BITS for frwk802FilterUserPriority? There is nothing terribly wrong with this, it just seems inconsistent with the way frwk802FilterVlanId, and the marker objects are defined.
- There is no filter for packet length (or should I look for it some place else?)
- 802 marker table - is not stripping the tag (making the packets untagged) a possible marker action? You cannot do it today with the marker table 

Thanks,

Dan
