Yes, so there are 4 less bytes available.
..and we may want to shift everything down another 4 bytes for
alignment, if that's needed. It could be very convenient to have the
exact same layout as the SA MADs. This would let an app issue a normal
SA GetTable query, store away the response, then later forward the
response to the local SA only changing a couple of fields without having
to re-pack everything.
The mad layer just wouldn't know to enable RMPP as easily as it does
with vendor class 2.
Ugh... That's an understatement.
We could add a check for the local SA class, but I'm hoping there's a
better way. What would be nice are vendor/application specific
extensions to the existing classes... or even a standardized framework
for supporting a distributed SA. (Neither of these seem likely anytime
soon though.)
