[Sls-slp] Fwd: Re: 1-page pink sheet Encapsulation Service

[Greg Kazz]

Dear SLS-SLP WG,

Attached is a pink Sheet proposal (attached as a PDF file)  to the current 
version of the Encapsulation Service (see 
http://public.ccsds.org/publications/archive/133x1b1c1.pdf for the current 
blue book version).


Paragraph 4.2.2.4 Length of Length Field in the Encapsulation Service in 
the Encapsulation Service is misleading. I believe most users would 
misinterpret the current text on how to fill the remaining bytes of a 
transfer frame by using multiple one-byte fill packets. However, this 
change points out, that from an efficiency point of view, one can simply 
create one larger (than one byte) fill encapsulation packet to fill the 
remainder of the transfer frame.

Please let me know if you have any comments/concerns about this proposal.


best regards,

Greg Kazz

Chairman CCSDS SLS-SLP WG
