[Sls-slp] Prox-1 GB Text for Inclusion

[Greg Kazz]

Tim,

You are correct.

You have a default case where the user has no data to send just directives 
or P-frames

But I left out PLCW/Status Report  in the original GB text that mimics the 
actual frame selection rules in the prox-1 data link blue book.

The GB text should read:


·        Select a frame from the MAC Queue
·        Select a PLCW or status report if a User_frame was selected last
·        Select an Expedited Frame
·        Select a Sequenced Controlled Frame from first the Sent Queue else 
from the sequence controlled queue[1]
·        Select a PLCW or status report  if a PLCW was selected last


[1] User_frames are sequence controlled frames either from the Sent Queue 
or the Sequence Controlled Queue


So the sender should always be able to send a status report if a PLCW could 
not be sent.

But please take a look at p 4-2 (Section 4.1.2.2) in the current Prox-1 
data link BB to make sure you agree with the official frame selection rule 
wording.

thanks,

Greg
