1903 Purpose of gwAddr component in PhyComAddr for UDP/IP

Created: 23 Jan 2024

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.

No objection - move tissue to editorial Deprecate the usage of the gwAddr attribute in the PhyComAddr structure, 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.	21 May 24	Approval (Editoral)
