3.1 and malformed packets

["Kritikos, Alex" <Alex.Kritikos@softwareag.com>]

Hello all,

 

When using 3.1, my interpretation of the spec is that the only possible CONNECT packet byte 1 is 00010000 (Connect ID& reserved values not used).

 

If a broker receives a CONNECT packet with any of the reserved bits set to 1, should it not treat it as a malformed packet and reject it?

 

Many thanks,

 

Alex Kritikos
