Re: [802-LMSC] 802.1 PARs and CSDs for November consideration

Glenn,

Here is a comment:

The PAR refers to:
minimum service data unit filtering
The CSD refers to:
minimum service data unit (MinSDU) filtering
maximum service data unit (MaxSDU) filtering
MinSDU size filtering
MaxSDU filtering

This terminology is imprecise. “Service data unit” is ambiguous; I suppose this is referring to MSDUs. Only one of these instances includes the key word “size,” but I suspect both minimum and maximum refer to the length. In IEEE Std 802, the word “length”, rather than “size”, is used to describe the frame extent.

Suggested Remedy:

Change "minimum service data unit” and “MinSDU" to "minimum frame length”. Change "maximum service data unit” and “MaxSDU" to "maximum frame length”, respectively, throughout; except change "MinSDU size” to "minimum frame length”.

Cheers,

Roger
