[RPRWG] Question on ClassB client traffic


Hi All,

Annex I in D0.3 describes the MAC client behavior. The
packet forwarding logic in the MAC has to give priority to
the ClassA transit traffic. So a client inserting ClassB
packets into the MAC could be back pressured by a burst
of ClassA transit traffic.

How does the client distinguish between buffer-full type
of back pressure vs. ClassB rate shaping(tokens expiry)
related back pressure? When classB tokens expire, client
can still send classB packets if SendC is asserted.

thanks
