[Sls-slp] CCSDS definition of Protocol IDs

[Gian.Paolo.Calzolari at esa.int]

Sorry Keith but I am quite puzzled as the mail you forward is not the mail 
I sent......
I just said:  Also to be said that USLP is a little schizophrenic as 
sometimes it looks to saving bits and sometimes emphasises that USLP 
framers are so long that it is not worth saving bits    :o) 

Regards

Gian Paolo

Is there a reason people don?t like:

TFDZ: 3 bits
Reserved: 5 bits
ProtoID: 8 bits
First Header pointer: 16 bits

?

I think you raised an important point: compactness vs. processing 
complexity. I think that however we should see this trade-off looking at 
the entire Transfer frame data field header, which contains the protocol 
field (s). At the moment it is 32-bit aligned (TFDZ:3 bits, ProtoID: 5 
bits, Extended ProtoID: 8 bits, first header pointer: 16 bits) for a total 
of 32 bits, which is something always desirable. If we reduce the protocol 
IDs from a total of 13 down to 8, the header becomes of 27 bits. If we 
reduce from 13 to 6, it becomes 25 bits.
