Memory Configuration Protocol: Should the Lock/Reserve command and reply indicate they're optional? #100

Open bobjacobsen opened 9 months ago

Multiple implementations don't include support for the Lock/Reserve command and reply in the Memory Configuration Protocol Standard. These are defined in sections 4.17 and 4.18. This includes both nodes doing the configuring and nodes being configured.

Should these this command and reply be marked as optional?

If they are optional, how should a client node know not to use them? What should happen if a client attempts to use them?
