[Css-csts] DPP Prototype ASN.1 definitions

[Zoller, David A. (MSFC-EO50)[HOSC SERVICES CONTRACT]]

Dear CSTS WG Members,
I have been updating the DPP Provider prototype with the latest ASN.1 definitions that I could find which I pulled from the document: 921x1r2[Draft_201310]_-_All_Services.docx. Please find below some comments on the ASN.1 definitions.


·         The ASN.1 uses Performer/Invoker while the document uses Provider/User

o   Is there a preferred terminology?

o   I am okay with using both as is ;-)



·         BIND and UNBIND invocations use a parameter name of invocationHeader while all of the other messages use standardInvocationHeader

o   I think it would be better if they were all consistent



·         StandardInvocationHeader.procedureInstanceId.procedureType usage

o   I wish to instantiate the appropriate performer type based on the invoker's specified ProcedureType

§  bufferedDataProcessing and sequenceControlledDataProcessing types are defined

§  It would be useful to be able to specify bufferedDataProcessingComplete and bufferedDataProcessingTimely types

o   Or will there be individual START formats for each of the types that I should key on?

o   Should these be part of the Framework baseline ASN.1 or would these be extensions for the prototype?



·         There were a few errors and warnings while processing the ASN.1

o   These have probably been corrected since the draft in October but let me know if anyone needs details



·         TransferBuffer with ProcessDataInvocations is not incorporated into the CstsFrameworkPdu structure yet

o   I am making use of the TransferBufferInvocation with TransferDataNotifications until the other is available

I recognize that this is a work in progress and I probably do not have the latest and greatest version. I am willing to help validate the DPP end of things as best I can if so desired.

Best regards,
David
