RE: [RPRWG] SendA, SendB, SendC
Anoop,
We need 3 such signals because we have 3 separate service classes. Other 802
MACs do not have distinct service classes. A client is free to ignore the
signals if does not want to use them or does not know how to use them.

Subject: [RPRWG] SendA, SendB, SendC
Why does 802.17 need SendA, SendB, SendC signals
going from the MAC to the client? Other 802 MACs
do not have a similar primitive even though they
have to get the client to wait in order to get
access to the medium (e.g., in token ring LANs, a
station must wait until a free token arrives).
Can anyone shed some light on this?
