DETAILED PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
This ECR increments the major protocol version for 2 to 3 for the I04 PacketCable Multimedia specification. This is done per
the guidelines for version number assignment provided in appendix A of the PacketCable Multimedia specification. The
primary driver for the change in major version are the guidelines which state the change in format of a given object or addition
of a new optional object which when included in a message introduces new mandatory functional requirements on the network
element receiving the message such that the new object could not be safely ignored would be grounds for a major version
change. Given that several object formats are being changed to accommodate DOCSIS 3.0 as well as the introduction of a new
object (upstream drop) which when included presents new functionality, a major version change is warranted.
PROPOSED SPECIFICATION CHANGES (Please include section number, title, and paragraph)
Please note Engineering Changes may only address one technical issue in one specification, although it may require changes to
multiple sections in the specification. Please itemize each change as follows. If you have multiple changes and some are
technical and some are editorial (but all address the same issue), please indicate which is which in addition to selecting “both”
under the type of change above. Note: Technical changes may require a vendor to change the design of the product. Editorial
changes are points of clarification or clean-up but would not generally require a change to the product.
