Within Figure 9-bc8 when the "Requested Time To Termination" is set to 0, the "eBCS Request Info frame" then only contains the "eBCS Request Info Control" and the
"Content ID" sub-fields. But this does nothing, so why have the "eBCS Request Info frame" there in the first place?
|
Re-write the "eBCS Request Info" subfield (Figure 9-bc7) without the "eBCS Request Info Control subfield" as it's redundant. If the eBCS Request Info has useful data
in it (e.g. a Requested Time to Termination), then include the subfield within the eBCS Request element. If there is no Requested Time to Termination then do not include it in the eBCS Request element.
Then most of the optional bits and fields drop out resulting in a much simpler eBCS Request Info subfield.

Revised:
The cited text has been deleted and its content has been moved to Clause 9.4.1.xxx.
Content ID will always be present; all other optional fields may be optional and their presence is indicated in the Control subfield. Since the length may be variable, EBCS Request Info Control subfield would be needed to parse the EBCS Request Information
List. Otherwise the receiving STA may have issues understanding the length of each of the EBCS Request Info subfield.
The value of Request Time To Termination = 0 has been clarified.
Note to editor:
Please incorporate changes in 11-21/667r1 under CID 1490.
