NANC 316

Change the NSAP Field Size Declaration in ASN.1 – ASN.1 Recompile

Origination Date :08/16/2000

Originator:LNPA-WG

Description:

As described in change order NANC 315 (FRS Document Only Change – NSAP Field Size) that was incorporated in FRS Release 3.0.2, the NSAP field currently uses only 12 of the 20 octets declared as the field size. The other 8 are for a port number but this is not currently used. The ASN.1 should be updated to be a field of size 12 octets. This would eliminate the need for the NPAC software to truncate the data sent by the SOAs and LSMSs.

ASN.1 Update:

OSI-Address ::= SEQUENCE {

   nsap   OCTET STRING(SIZE(2012 )),

   tsap   OCTET STRING(SIZE(1..4)),

   ssap   OCTET STRING(SIZE(1..4)),

   psap   OCTET STRING(SIZE(1..4))

}

Func Backwards Compatible:  NO
