Capwap Mailing List: Length Mismatch in Returned Message Element

[Glenn Chagnot (glenn.chagnot]

Hi,

There seems to be a conflict between the field diagram and description in section 4.6.35.  The diagram is:

 

      0                   1                   2                   3

      0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

     |    Reason     |    Length     |       Message Element...

     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

 

The description of the Length field is:

   Length:   The length of the Message Element field, which MUST NOT

      exceed 65535 octets.

 

I’m not sure if the intent is to extend the length field to be two octets or if the description should be amended.

 

Thanks,

Glenn
