| IEEE 802.1 REVISION REQUEST XXXX                                    |

COMPANY/AFFILIATION: University of New Hamsphire's InterOperability Lab with support from the AVnu Alliance
E-MAIL: astewart@iol.unh.edu; ren@iol.unh.edu


REQUESTED REVISION:
     STANDARD: 802.1Q-2011
     CLAUSE NUMBER: 35.2.4
     CLAUSE TITLE: MSRP Attribute Propagation


RATIONALE FOR REVISION:

The only mention of 'new' in MSRP is in 35.2.4(a):
"A MAD_Join.indication adds a new attribute to MAD (with then 'new' parameter, 
10.2, set to TRUE)"

MSRP does not define any further action to take upon receipt of 'new'.
It is desireable to explicitly state any action desired, or none if no action 
is desired (which is presumed in this case).

PROPOSED REVISION TEXT:

Add a subclause after the current 35.2.6 and before 35.2.7 similar to 10.12.3 
defined as:

35.2.6 Use of "new" declaration capability
MSRP does not make use of the 'new' declaration capability.

renumber following clause appropriately

IMPACT ON EXISTING NETWORKS:

Without standard specified behavior, existing implementations may vary in 
their MAP operation, specifically in regard to 'new'
