[802.3_EPOC] Minimal MPCP Augmentation

[Hesham ElBakoury <Hesham.ElBakoury@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Through the discussions we had so far I do not see a common agreement on the definition of “minimal augmentation” to MPCP.

 

For example which one of the following MPCP changes are considered “Minimal” augmentation to MPCP and why:

 

1.       Defining a new MPCP message.

2.       Adding a new field to an existing MPCP message.

3.       Change the interpretation/definition  of existing field(s) in MPCP message.

4.       Using reserved/unused fields in existing messages.

5.       ….

 

Comments are welcome.

 

Thanks

 

Hesham
