This case extends the specifications for both the VIO protocol and VIO MD nodes for LDoms virtual network and switch devices in order to support physical link status updates. This case will be approved for a minor/micro/patch OS binding and a minor/micro binding for the firmware. Case timer is set to expire on April 1, 2009 The VIO protocol specification was approved under FWARC/2006/195 and modified under FWARC/2006/583, FWARC/2006/602, FWARC/2007/672, FWARC/2008/017, FWARC/2008/228, and FWARC/2008/553. The VIO MD specification was approved under FWARC/2006/072 and modified under FWARC/2006/122, FWARC/2007/363, FWARC/2008/016, FWARC/2008/228, FWARC/2008/553, FWARC/2008/563, and FWARC 2008/696. All of the changes are highlighted in the updated documents which can be found at: http://sac.eng/arc/FWARC/2009/195/materials/vio-protocol-update-8-diffs.pdf http://sac.eng/arc/FWARC/2009/195/materials/vio-md-nodes-v10-diffs.pdf A brief description of the changes are: o An extension of the VIO protocol for virtual network and switch devices to negotiate for physical link status updates as part of the attribute exchange as defined in section 1.1.7.1 of the VIO protocol specification. o An extension of the VIO protocol for virtual network and switch devices to include a new message that reports physical link status updates. This message is defined in section 1.1.7.6 of the VIO protocol specification. o An addition of a new MD property to the 'virtual-device' node as defined in section 1.1.3 of the VIO MD spec and used by virtual network and switch devices to determine whether to enable physical link status updates. -Ryan From sacadmin Thu Apr 2 10:31:27 2009 Received: from sunmail4.singapore.sun.com (sunmail4.Singapore.Sun.COM [129.158.71.19]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id n32HVQKW001737 for ; Thu, 2 Apr 2009 10:31:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com (nwk-avmta-2.SFBay.Sun.COM [129.145.155.6]) by sunmail4.singapore.sun.com (8.13.4+Sun/8.13.3/ENSMAIL,v2.2) with ESMTP id n32HVJpT024397 for <@sunmail2sca.sfbay.sun.com:fwarc@sun.com>; Fri, 3 Apr 2009 01:31:26 +0800 (SGT) Received: from pmxchannel-daemon.nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com by nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) id <0KHH00C0XI0ARV00@nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com> for fwarc@sun.com (ORCPT fwarc@sun.com); Thu, 02 Apr 2009 10:31:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sca-es-mail-1.sun.com ([192.18.43.132]) by nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) with ESMTP id <0KHH004X3I09LJD0@nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com> for fwarc@sun.com (ORCPT fwarc@sun.com); Thu, 02 Apr 2009 10:31:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fe-sfbay-10.sun.com ([192.18.43.129]) by sca-es-mail-1.sun.com (8.13.7+Sun/8.12.9) with ESMTP id n32HVL6p020398 for ; Thu, 02 Apr 2009 10:31:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: from conversion-daemon.fe-sfbay-10.sun.com by fe-sfbay-10.sun.com (Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7.0-5.01 64bit (built Feb 19 2009)) id <0KHH00000HGIAZ00@fe-sfbay-10.sun.com> for fwarc@sun.com (ORCPT fwarc@sun.com); Thu, 02 Apr 2009 10:31:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: from [129.145.154.58] ([unknown] [129.145.154.58]) by fe-sfbay-10.sun.com (Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7.0-5.01 64bit (built Feb 19 2009)) with ESMTPSA id <0KHH004P7I06N6A0@fe-sfbay-10.sun.com> for fwarc@sun.com (ORCPT fwarc@sun.com); Thu, 02 Apr 2009 10:31:20 -0700 (PDT) Date: Thu, 02 Apr 2009 10:31:18 -0700 From: Ryan Maeda Subject: Re: FWARC/2009/195: VIO vNet/vSwitch support for physical link state information In-reply-to: <49C95A78.2000901@Sun.COM> Sender: Ryan.Maeda@sun.com To: fwarc@sun.com Cc: Sriharsha Basavapatna , "Raghuram.Kothakota" Reply-to: Ryan.Maeda@sun.com Message-id: <49D4F666.3050205@Sun.COM> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X-PMX-Version: 5.4.1.325704 References: <49C95A78.2000901@Sun.COM> User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.22pre (X11/20090304) Status: RO Content-Length: 107 This fast-track case has timed out.
