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

[Tim Ray]

Greg,

Ok.  Yes, the frame-selection logic in the Blue Book looks fine.
(My original concern was based on the mistaken assumption that MAC frames
did not count as User frames)

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
