Capwap Mailing List: Re: Issue 179: Change name of "AC Name with Index" to "AC Namewith Priority"

Here is the new text:

<proposed text>
4.6.5.  AC Name with Priority

   The AC Name with Priority message element is sent by the AC to the
   WTP to configure preferred ACs.  The number of instances of this
   message element is equal to the number of ACs configured on the WTP.
   The WTP also uses this message element to send its configuration to
   the AC.

      0                   1
      0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
     |   Priority  |   AC Name...
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   Type:   5 for AC Name with Priority

   Length:   >= 2

   Priority:   A value between 1 and 255 specifying the priority order
      of the preferred AC.  For instance, the value of one (1) is used
      to set the primary AC, the value of two (2) is used to set the
      secondary, etc.

   AC Name:   A variable length UTF-8 encoded string [RFC3629]
      containing the AC name, whose maximum size MUST NOT exceed 512
      bytes.
</proposed text> 

As well as any references to the message element across the spec.

Namewith Priority"

All,

Yong Zhang brought up the following to my attention on draft -12. I have
created issue 179 to track this, but I consider this a minor change - it
does not impact interoperability in any way.

Yes, I felt the name was OK, and a change was unnecessary. We can change
it, but I don't view that as critical. We can address this if we have a
chance before publication.
