[Sls-slp] Encapsulation packets over TC VC Packet service?

[Gian.Paolo.Calzolari at esa.int]

Dear John,
        I think that Virtual Channel Packet service of TC (section 3.4 of 
CCSDS 232.0-B-3) is actually mentioned under the bullet "a" you report 
below.
That bullet intends to refer to VCP Service that - mutatis mutandis - is 
actually provided by 3 books:
TM (reference [1]), 
TC (reference [2]),
AOS (reference [3]), 

Am I overlooking something?

Regards

Gian Paolo

SLS-SLP colleagues ---
Section 3.2.2.2 of the Encapsulation Packet Protocol Blue Book (CCSDS 
133.1-B-3) specifies the content of the SDLP_Channel for the various 
underlying space data link protocols (SDLPs):
 
“a)       for the Virtual Channel Packet (VCP) service of TM (reference 
[1]), TC (reference [2]),
or AOS (reference [3]), SDLP_Channel shall contain the Global Virtual 
Channel
Identifier (GVCID);
b)         for the MAP Packet (MAPP) service of TC (reference [2]) and 
USLP (reference [5]),
SDLP_Channel shall contain the Global MAP ID (GMAP ID);
c)         for the Packet Service of Proximity-1 (reference [4]), 
SDLP_Channel shall contain the
Transfer Frame Version Number, the Spacecraft Identifier (SCID), the 
Physical
Channel Identifier (PCID), the Data Field Construction ID (DFC_ID), and 
the Port ID.”
 
Missing from this list is any mention of the Virtual Channel Packet 
service of TC (section 3.4 of CCSDS 232.0-B-3. Was this exclusion 
accidental or intentional – i.e., is Encapsulation over the TC VC Packet 
service disallowed? I suggest that the issue be resolved unambiguously one 
way or the other – that is, either add it to the list of SDLP_Channels 
that contain GVCIDs or add a note that explicitly rules out in that usage.
 
Thanks.
 
Best regards,
John
