RE: Sig-Draft: pktcRingCadence description change

Hi all,

A few more additions based on other comments:

pktcRingCadence 

"This object provides an encoding scheme for ring cadences, including 
repeatability characteristics. All octets and bit-strings in this object

MUST be encoded in network-byte order.

The first three higher order octets are reserved. The octets that follow

are used to encode a 'bit-string', with each bit corresponding to 50 
milliseconds. A bit value of '1' indicates the presence of a ring-tone 
and a bit value of '0' indicates the absence of a ring-tone, for that 
duration (50 ms). (Note: A minimum number of octets required to encode
the bit-string MUST be used.)

The first two of the reserved octets MUST indicate the length of the 
encoded cadence (in bits) and MUST range between 1 and 264. (Note: The 
length in bits MUST also be consistent with the number of octets that 
encode the cadence). The MTA MUST ignore any unused bits in the last
octet, but MUST reflect the value as provided on a subsequent SNMP GET.

The third of the reserved octets indicates 'repeatability' and MUST 
be either 0x80 or 0x00 - the former value indicating 
'repeatability' and the latter indicating 'non-repeatability'.

The MTA MUST reject attempts to set a value that violates any of 
the above requirements."

Thanks Randy (And the subject has been change, thanks Harrie!) 


Ok, how about:

pktcRingCadence

            Introduced network-byte order

            Added ordering

       Accepted suggestions.

The MTA MUST reject attempts to set any values which violate the above 
requirements."


Thoughts?
