[8023-CMTF] FW: [8023-CMTF] 802.3ar/D0.9 is available

Kevin,
 
I only took a quick review. From that, my main observation/confusion was with what appears to be
key names, where the delineation of the name is unclear. For example:
 

  A GET operation returns the current Transmit Rate Limit Frame Rate mode of operation of the MAC sublayer.

I would prefer to see such special terms, particularly if they correspond to specific values or functions,
clearly distinguished from key words. Perhaps something like:

  A GET operation returns the current 'Transmit Rate Limit Frame Rate' mode of operation of the MAC sublayer.
or
  A GET operation returns the current TransmitRateLimitFrameRate mode of operation of the MAC sublayer.
or
  A GET operation returns the current transmitRateLimitFrameRate mode of operation of the MAC sublayer.
or
  A GET operation returns the current TRANSMIT_RATE_LIMIT_FRAME_RATE mode of operation of the MAC sublayer.

Depending on what is the actual meaning and context of this   word sequence, and others that are similarly phrased.

DVJ

Subject: [8023-CMTF] 802.3ar/D0.9 is available

Congestion Management TF members,
 
At the July 2005 IEEE 802 Plenary meeting in San Francisco, we (the P802.3ar CMTF) passed the following motion:
 
"Adopt changes to Clause 4, Annex 4A & Clause 30 described in barrass_1_0505.pdf as a baseline proposal for 802.3ar/D1.0. The changes to Clause 4 will be made after the
changes to Annex 4A have been solidified in 802.3ar TF review."
 
In order to jumpstart our progress on D1.0, Hugh Barrass and I have prepared P802.3ar/D0.9 for CMTF preview. It may be found here:
 
http://www.ieee802.org/3/ar/public/0511/802.3ar-d0_9.pdf
 
Please note this draft has no official status. It is being made available for TF preview, prior to the November meeting, in order to more efficiently prepare P802.3ar/D1.0 and commence TF ballot after we meet in November. Hope to see you in Vancouver.
