A.1.1.1 IEEE registration templates for ethertype value for 3GPP IEEE MAC based protocol family

Editor’s note: MCC is requested to apply in IEEE-RA for allocation of an ethertype value according to this template.

Registration URL:

http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/ethertype/index.html

Registry:

ethertype

Detailed description:

This application requests allocation of an ethertype value for 3GPP IEEE MAC based protocol family, as specified in IEEE 802 [11].

Protocol description:

The MAC client data field of a MAC frame as specified in IEEE 802.3 [12] of the 3GPP IEEE MAC based protocol family is formatted as follows:

– octet 1 of the MAC client data field is the protocol subtype field.

– remaining octets of the MAC client data field are the protocol data field.

The protocol subtype field set to one identifies the performance measurement function protocol specified in 3GPP TS 24.193.

3GPP TS 24.193 enables assignment of further protocols to values of the protocol subtype field.

Assignment quantity:

1

Additional comments:

1) Does the company requesting the assignment have any existing Ethertype assignments?

Yes.

1a) Does the existing use of the original assignment support sub-typing?

No.

1b) Does the current applicant know who is currently responsible for maintenance of the previously assigned Ethertype?

Yes.

1c) Has the company considered using sub-typing of the older Ethertype for the new use under application?

Yes. Sub-typing of the older Ethertype for the new use under application is not possible.

1d) Given the above, why is a new Ethertype needed?

See detailed description for the new use under application.

2) Has the new protocol been developed and tested in accordance with clause 9 and especially clause 9.2.3 and Figure 12 of IEEE Std 802-2014 [11], IEEE Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks: Overview and Architecture?

The 3GPP IEEE MAC based protocol family has been developed as follows:

– the first octet of the MAC client data field of a MAC frame as specified in IEEE 802.3 [12] of the 3GPP IEEE MAC based protocol family contains the protocol subtype field.

– the MAC client data field of the MAC frame of the 3GPP IEEE MAC based protocol family does not contain a protocol version field. If a protocol identified by an existing protocol subtype field value is modified in a backward-compatible way, there is no need to indicate a protocol version. If a protocol identified by an existing protocol subtype field value needs to be modified in a backward-incompatible way, a new protocol subtype field value will be assigned to the modified protocol.

The 3GPP IEEE MAC based protocol family has not been tested.

3) Have the full provisions of Figure 12 for the "Protocol identification field" in the prototype protocol been preserved in the final version of the protocol for which the new EtherType is being requested?

The first octet of the MAC client data field of a MAC frame as specified in IEEE 802.3 [12] of the 3GPP IEEE MAC based protocol family contains the protocol subtype field.

The MAC client data field of the MAC frame of the 3GPP IEEE MAC based protocol family does not contain a protocol version field. If a protocol identified by an existing protocol subtype field value is modified in a backward-compatible way, there is no need to indicate a protocol version. If a protocol identified by an existing protocol subtype field value needs to be modified in a backward-incompatible way, a new protocol subtype field value will be assigned to the modified protocol.

This is preserved in the final version.

4) What provisions have been made for maintaining and assigning sub-types going forward within your company? Please provide an example of the first 10 bytes/octets as an example.

3GPP TS 24.193 enables assignment of protocols to values of the protocol subtype field. A sending entity shall not set the protocol subtype field to a reserved value. A receiving entity shall ignore the MAC client data field, if the protocol subtype field is set to a reserved value. 3GPP TS 24.193 so far contains an assignment for the performance measurement function to value one of the protocol subtype field.

For the performance measurement function protocol:

– value of octet 1 of the MAC client data field is set to one.

– values of octet 2 and octet 3 of the MAC client data field contain the length of the performance measurement function protocol message.

– value of octet 4 of the MAC client data field is set to the message type of the performance measurement function protocol.

– value of octet 5 and octet 6 of the MAC client data field is set to the extended procedure transaction identity of the performance measurement function protocol, enabling distinguishing of procedures running in parallel.

– values of octet 7 and later octets of the MAC client data field depend on the message type of the performance measurement function protocol.
