3.3.2 Source Address claiming

Mon, 2025-06-30 20:14 — Al Thomason

Justification: Correct inconsistency in present language (Shall — and then list of exceptions). Also add more clarity around Dynamic ACL process, specifically with regards to trial node addresses. Allow for supplier flexibility to optimize system startup time, as well as interaction with J1939 base ACL process. Offer suggestions for remembering assigned node ID at next startup, to reduce traffic, as well as document behaviors if no node Address can be found.

3.2.4.3b Global Requests for Certain DGNs.

Mon, 2025-06-30 12:42 — RV-C Admin

Justification: A global request for DGN can generate a lot of traffic, especially if the DGN is universally supported. We do not want to completely ban global requests, but limit their use to avoid DGNs that might cause a traffic jam.

Text: Insert immediately after Table 3.2.4.3b.

"Global requests may generate large bursts of traffic and should be used only in limited circumstances. They are specifically not allowed for requests to PRODUCT_ID, ADDRESS_CLAIM, and DM_RV."
