Re: [bmwg] [Technical Errata Reported] RFC8239 (6763)

[Leonard Yu <[e-mail]>]

I was assuming the texts describing Iteration 1 & 2 were incorrect. But from the drawing below, I can see it is the text describing iteration 1 and 2 are incorrect.

I will make a new errara report for to correct the texts for iteration 1 &2

Here is a picture illustrating it, sorry my ascii skills for drawing are not there yet.

Type: Technical
Reported by: Leonard Yu <[e-mail]<mailto:[e-mail]>>

Section: 3.2

Original Text
-------------
Last iteration: Ingress port 1 sending line rate to egress
port 2, ingress port 3 sending line rate to egress port 4, etc.
Ingress port N-1 and port N will oversubscribe, at 1% of line
rate, egress port N-3 and port N-2, respectively. Measure the
buffer size value by multiplying the number of extra frames
sent by the frame size for each egress port.

Corrected Text
--------------

Then

Otherwise, the general equation won't satisfy #1 and #2
