[Sis-ams] clarification needed?

[Ray, Timothy J. (GSFC-583.0)]

Dear WG members,

 

>From an AMS node point-of-view, there are two incoming MPDUs that tell
it to reset to an 'unregistered' condition:

        You-are-dead

        i-am-stopping (with my own node-id)

 

I have found it difficult to determine (with confidence) whether those
MPDUs *always* cause the reset, or are context-dependent.  For example,
suppose a node receives a 'you-are-dead' but has not sent a 'reconnect'?
(My interpretation says "ignore it")   Conversely, suppose a node sends
a 'reconnect' and then receives an 'i-am-stopping' (with its own
node-id)?  (My interpretation says "reset to unregistered condition").

 

My suggestion is that we discuss this in Berlin and perhaps tighten up
the spec.

 

Tim
