Hi, This is the decision regarding encoding and labeltype that was made for NML: https://forge.ogf.org/sf/sfmain/do/go/artf6577 :
NML has currently a one-to-one relation between the layer encoding (a URI to define the layer of sublayer of a specific Port of Link) and the label type (a URI to define the resource label of a technology).
Proposal: (was: Option 4). Use "encoding" for layer encoding and "labeltype" for label type
<nml:Port id="...."> <nml:encoding> http://schemas.ogf.org/nml/2013/10/ethernet#802.3</nml:encoding> ; <nml:label labeltype=" http://schemas.ogf.org/nml/2013/10/ethernet#vlan ">1780</nml:label> </nml:Port>
There is not a one-to-one correlation, because encodings (such as Ethernet) still allow traffic without labels at all. Jeroen.
