DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM:
-
OPT-REQ does not specify the number of NCP fields to be examined
OPT-REQ specifies ‘Maximum NCP CRC Failure Count’ but no action is associated with it in OPT-RSP
OPT-REQ specifies ‘Requested Statistics: Bit 4 – Codeword Pass Fail for Candidate Profile’ but no
corresponding TLV for it in OPT-RSP
Testing an already assigned profile was not the original intent of OPT-REQ but there is no spec text to
forbid it
