Re: [STDS-802-11-TGM] 11me/D2.0 CID 3488 ("contents of the RSNE")

--- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Task Group M Technical Reflector ---
I do not know whether this particular mechanism has been implemented and if so, how that part was interpreted. However, I did find another instance of "the contents of the RSNE" construction being used in the draft and that location has an implicit requirement of the element Length field not being included, i.e., just including the Information field of the element: REVme/D2.0 O2931 L5 "the contents of the RSNE" cannot include the Length field since the list of exceptions would allow the Length field values to be different when the pairwise cipher suite lists are of different length.

9.4.2.67.3 RSNA event report has a Figure 9-472—Event Report format for RSNA event

that shows an RSNE field.  This field is described as:

 

The RSNE field contains the entire contents of the negotiated RSNE at the time of the authentication

attempt.

 

Does "the entire contents of the negotiated RSNE" mean "the octets that

form the negotiated RSNE" or does it mean "the octets that form the

Information field of the negotiated RSNE, i.e. excluding the Element ID

and Length octets"?

 

If you have any information on implementations in the field, this

would be especially welcome.

 

Thanks,

 

Mark
