Hi Jai,

We need the below understanding to be documented:

---

There are multiple SAI attributes/stat-id (viz., SAI_PORT_ATTR_PRBS_RX_STATE, SAI_PORT_ATTR_PRBS_RX_STATUS, SAI_PORT_PRBS_RX_STATUS_LOCK_WITH_ERRORS) for PORT PRBS status. It depends on the underlying ASIC as to which of these attributes are applicable. The suggestion was that the application would first query SAI_PORT_ATTR_PRBS_RX_STATE. If the SAI implementation returns that the attribute is unsupported, the application would then fallback to query the existing SAI_PORT_ATTR_PRBS_RX_STATUS and SAI_PORT_PRBS_RX_STATUS_LOCK_WITH_ERRORS.
