DSS2 — Table 17: interaction subclass, another issue

Table 17: interaction subclass HLAmanager.HLAfederate.HLAreport.HLAreportReflectionsReceived: how defined. As currently worded, the text is not clear as to whether the number of reflections received is defined as the number of times the Reflect Attribute Values † service was invoked at the federate for all object instances of a given object class, or the number of instance attribute value reflections by the federate for all object instances of a given object class.

It is recommended that text be added to clarify that the number of reflections is defined as the number of instance attribute value reflections. That is, if a federate has received the Reflect Attribute Values † service invocation twice, and in one of these service invocations were arguments for an object instance of class A and n instance attributes of type reliable, and in another of these service invocations were arguments for an object instance of class A and m instance attributes of type best-effort, then in response to an interaction of class Manager.Federate.Request.RequestReflectionsReceived, two Manager.Federate.Report.ReportReflectionsReceived interactions should be sent: one for transportation type reliable with a reflect count of n for object class A, and one for transportation type best-effort with a reflection count of m for object class A. Furthermore, if that federate receives an additional Reflect Attribute Values † service invocation for an object instance of class A that contains a single attribute/value pair as argument, and the attribute is a reliable attribute that had also had a value reflected previously, then in response to an interaction of class Manager.Federate.Request.RequestReflectionsReceived, two Manager.Federate.Report.ReportReflectionsReceived interactions should be sent: one for transportation type reliable with a reflect count of n + 1 for object class A, and one for transportation type best-effort with a reflection count of m for object class A

Add the suggested clarifying text.
