Hello Richard,

at least for me the specification is quite confusing at this point.

Chapter "10.5.4.1 General Signaling message specifications" of IEEE8021AS-2011 
describes
targetPortIdentity with a size of 10 octets.

But the following chapter mentions only 0xFF and not 0xFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF.

> 10.5.4.2 Signaling message field specifications
> 10.5.4.2.1 targetPortIdentity
(PortIdentity)
> The value is 0xFF.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
