Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Updating the first membership vector requires that the ST knows which ST should send in a specific slot. This information is not available for now.
Resolution:
This problem requires an additional file containing this information. This file is called "Owner File" and uses file no. 0x0B.

Resolution: see above
Revised Text: A new section is inserted:
2.4.8 The Owner File (file no. 0x0B)
The Owner File contains the “owner” (the logical name of the node which is
allowed to write to the bus) of each slot of each round. This file must be
consistent with the RODL files.
Rec. no. 0x01 and 0x02 are used as index containing the record no. of the
first entry of each round. The remaining records contain a list of the logical
names of the sending nodes of the respective round. The first entry of a
round must always be byte 0x00 of a record. See Figure 2-12.

Summary:
Updating the first membership vector requires that the ST knows which
ST should send in a specific slot. This information is not available
for now.
Resolution:
This problem requires an additional file containing this
information. This file is called "Owner File" and uses file no. 0x0B.
Revised Text:
A new section is inserted in Section 2.4:
The Owner File contains the "owner" (the logical name of the node
which is allowed to write to the bus) of each slot of each round. This
file must be consistent with the RODL files. 
Rec. no. 0x01 and 0x02 are used as index containing the record no. of
the first entry of each round. The remaining records contain a list of
the logical names of the sending nodes of the respective round. The
first entry of a round must always be in byte 0x00 of a record. See
Figure 2-12.
 
The entry in the index for the MSA and MSD round (IndexA and IndexD)
is unused but has been left in the index in order to allow consistent
address calculations. These entries should be initialized with 0x00.
Unused slots are assigned to the logical name 0x00 which is reserved
for broadcast and thus is not a valid logical name for an ST.
Since slot 0 is used for the fireworks byte the owner of slot 0 of
each round is the master of the cluster.
