BNM Priority Mapping 2

PriorityMappingEntries represents a list of all instances of PriorityMappingEntryType. For a formal definition see 5.3.2.1. The order of the elements in the array does not have any influence, as elements are indexed via the MappingUri and PriorityLabel.

The combination of QosCategory and PriorityLabel are used as indices into the referenced PriorityMappingTable to look up the priority values. The reference from an IetfBaseNetworkInterface is described in Section 5.5.1. For the sender, the priority values shall be included within the frame, if the according fields are available, i.e., VLAN Tag to use the PCP value and IP header to use the DSCP value. The receiver can use the priority values for internal packet processing.

Note: An example for a simplified PubSub connection is shown in Annex A.2. Within the PubSubConnection, each WriterGroup can contain a QosCategory and DatagramQos structure with a PriorityLabel. For the subscriber side these values are specified on the DataSetReader level.

AddPriorityMappingEntry allows to add an entry to this instance of PriorityMappingTableType.

DeletePriorityMappingEntry allows to delete an entry from this instance of PriorityMappingTableType.

This optional Method allows to add an entry to this instance of PriorityMappingTableType. If the combination of MappingUri and PriorityLabel does not exist yet, the element will be added to the Variable PriorityMappingEntries.

The signature of this Method is specified below. Table 62 and Table 64 specify the Arguments and AddressSpace representation, respectively.

Signature 

AddPriorityMappingEntry(

[in] String MappingUri,

[in] String PriorityLabel,

[in] Byte PriorityValue_PCP,

[in] UInt32 PriorityValue_DSCP

);

Table 62 – AddPriorityMappingEntry Method arguments

Argument

Description

MappingUri

Named identifier of a well-known predefined set of priority labels.

PriorityLabel

Textual representation of the desired transport priority.

PriorityValue_PCP

PriorityValue_PCP shall be a value between 0 and 7.The value 0xFF indicates to omit the PriorityValue_PCP from the entry.

PriorityValue_DSCP

PriorityValue_DSCP shall be a value between 0 and 63.The value 0xFFFFFFFF indicates to omit the PriorityValue_PCP from the entry. 

The possible Method result codes are defined in Table 63.
