Re: [EFM] The value of revision field when changing OAM mode



Hi,

I would increment it.  Did you read something in the standard that made you
think of resetting it to zero?
Cheers,

Subject: [EFM] The value of revision field when changing OAM mode


Hi,

I have a question on the value of revision field in the local information
TLV
when the DTE is changing mode from active to passive. The issue is when a
DTE first
come up with local_oam_mode=ACTIVE and then later is configured to
local_oam_mode=PASSIVE.
At that time should the revision field resets back to zero or can it be
incremented?

Thanks,
