4. Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform
All participants in this meeting have certain obligations under the IEEE-SA Patent Policy.
Participants [Note: Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws subclause 6.2]:
“Shall inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of each “holder of any potential Essential Patent Claims of which they are personally aware” if the claims are owned or controlled by the participant or the entity the participant is from, employed by, or otherwise represents
“Should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of “any other holders of potential Essential Patent Claims” (that is, third parties that are not affiliated with the participant, with the participant’s employer, or with anyone else that the participant is from or otherwise represents)
The above does not apply if the patent claim is already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance that applies to the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group
Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged
No duty to perform a patent search

5. Patent Related Links
All participants should be familiar with their obligations under the IEEE-SA Policies & Procedures for standards development.
Patent Policy is stated in these sources:
IEEE-SA Standards Boards Bylaws
IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual
Material about the patent policy is available at
If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at or visit
This slide set is available at

6. Call for Potentially Essential Patents
If anyone in this meeting is personally aware of the holder of any patent claims that are potentially essential to implementation of the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group and that are not already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance:
Either speak up now or
Provide the chair of this group with the identity of the holder(s) of any and all such claims as soon as possible or
Cause an LOA to be submitted

Reports
Walter briefly reported about the IEEE SA awards ceremony in Piscataway, where received an award for ‘emerging technology’.
Editorial review results of P802.1CF-D0.7
Editorial review comments listed on the following 2 slides.
Shortly introduced the comments to the editor with going through the list and pointing to the demanded modifications in the document.
Implementation will be performed off-line through the editor.

14. Editorial review comments #1
L463: replace chapter 4.2 by text given in
L1152: insert text as highlighted in
L1496: insert text as highlighted in
L2254: should be itemized and indented; ‘TT traffic’ is a further item aside of BE traffic and RC traffic
L2297: figure 39 is not displayed properly.
L2299: The text ‘Streams …’ is a continuation of the text above the figure and requires indentation as the text flow above the figure. If challenging, the figure 39 could be moved to the end of the text.
L2368: should be ‘and guides fault diagnosis and maintenance’
L2392: Figure title should be kept on same page as figure.
L2447: ‘E.g.’ belongs to the begin of the line
L2460: ‘E.g.’ belongs to the begin of the line
L2663: Text belongs to the indented text of ‘fully centralized TSN configuration model’ above and should be copied directly into line
L2681: ‘ID’ changed to ‘ServiceFlow-ID’
L2682: there is one new paragraph from DCN , as follows, missing between L2681 and L2682. ”For time sensitive networking, service flows are denoted as ‘Streams’ starting at a ‘Talker’ and ending at a ‘Listener’. Talker and listener are end stations in the notation of IEEE 802 networking and are represented by Terminal and Access Router in this specification.”

15. Editorial review comments #2
L2738: should be ‘QoS policy control should allow for both intserv, and diffserv as well as TSN QoS models.’
L2758: should be ‘Usage limits (time, volume, delay)’
L2781: the texts in chapter is not up-to-date. (although figure 54 is good) Refer to DCN for inclusion the revisions.
L2800: the texts in chapter is not up-to-date.
L2812: part of Figure 55 is not displayed.
L2841: figure 57 is not shown in complete.
L2854: figure 58 is not shown in complete. So is figure 59.
L2864: ‘This section’ should be ‘The following section’
L3250: left part of figure 63 should be deleted. (keep the right part only)
L3508: Insert the introductory text for ‘8. Network softwarization functions’ as given by
L3512: change ‘in sharing’ through ‘to provide’
L3539: Figure 70 is cropped to its left side. Reduce size of picture to make it fully appearing on the page.
L3548: figure 72 is wrong, the correct one is the figure 8-4 in DCN
L3569: Figure 77 is outdated; please insert instead figure 8-9 of
L3570: chapter is not included: Refer to DCN for more details.
L3610: ‘Figure 74’ should reference to ‘Figure 78’ above.
L4344: Remove line; no PICS proforma in this document as explained in 5. Conformence
L4345: Remove Annex A, as there is no annex

16. Business #3 Corrections going into P802.1CF-D1.0 for WG ballot
