1903   Purpose of gwAddr component in PhyComAddr for UDP/IP

Created: 23 Jan 2024

Status: Discussion (red)

Part: Part 8-1 (2020; Edition 2.1)

Page: 66

Clause: 8.1.3.12

Paragraph: Table 40

Issue

It is unclear what is the usage of the gwAddr component in the context of routable protocol addressing.
Clause 25.3.3 does not define a gateway parameter in the UDP/IP SCL addressing, and a ip gateway configuration is not necessary to send to an ip multicast address.

Proposal

Deprecate the usage of the gwAddr attribute in the PhyComAddr.

Discussion Created Status
Move to discussion. Propose to resolve the tissue as editorial as not technical impact.
Agree to deprecate, as there is no need for a first hop gateway address in the context of Routable GOOSE/SV communication.
The value shall be set to the NULL string, i.e. a string with a length 0.
