Table 41: Common Service Parameter applicability (part 2 of 2)
"y" indicates yes, applicable (i.e. has meaning)
"n" indicates no, not applicable (i.e. has no meaning)
* The Class 1 Service Parameters shall be used for Class 6. Each has the same applicability as Class 1.
** E_D_TOV resolution and the corresponding value are only meaningful in a point-to-point topology and when doing 
PLOGI with an NL_Port on the same loop.
The upper byte of the FC-PH Version field indicates the highest version of FC-PH that is supported and the lower byte indi-
cates the lowest. The code/version relationship is shown in Table 42. 
Table 42: FC-PH Version
The BB_Credit field indicates the number of frame buffers that a port guarantees to have immediately available when a loop 
circuit is opened. The drive returns 0 (zero) in this field; i.e., every Initiator is given a Login BB_Credit of 0. 
The Common Features field contains flags. 
• CIO - Continuously Increasing Offset 
 
When set to one, this flag indicates that the Port supports Continuously Increasing Relative Offset within a Sequence 
on a frame by frame SEQ_CNT basis. The Relative Offset is only present if bit 3 of the F_CTL field in the frame 
header is set to 1b. The drive requires that an initiator support Continuously Increasing Relative Offset. If this field is
