Re: [RPRWG] Correction in Chap 10 of RPR Standard ?



Yeah, it would matter because it would report the incorrect high watermark until the next aging interval. Is this long enough to care about? Maybe, maybe not. But since an implementation is already able to set it to the current value when it hits a high value, it should be able to just as easily set it to the current value when asked to reset.

Hi John,

Does it make a significant difference if we reset it to 'zero' ? It would
anyway be updated in the next aging interval to the current occupancy
level (stqDepth). Plus, it would be easier for the hardware to reset it to
'zero' than to the current occupancy level.
