Re: ForCES TLV size

Jamal， 

I think  you catched a very important point, i.e., many TLVs we'v defined may also face the insufficienct length problem with 16bits space, like the Redirect TLV, LFBselect TLV, as well as the Oper TLV. 

Whereas, I don't think 32 bits length is still insufficient. 

I just think that if we can just define a universal TLV structure like a ILV we'v defined? In this way, the change to the text is also easier.

I hope more people can join in the discussion.

thanks,
Weiming

Hi Weiming,

There is a small problem:
The LFB select TLV "L" part is 16 bits. So the underlying data length
cannot exceed 16 bits. We can change that too to be an ILV, but then i
think at some point when 32 bit is no longer sufficient (infiniband has
64K MTU for example) then this wont solve it either.

cheers,
