    We request more detail on what data is being requested from the RDP ELS response. Some information listed in the T11 standard for RDP ELS the host currently does not have access (SFP diagnostic Parameter descriptors, FEC status, nominal FC_PORT RTT, optical element data descriptor? Other data is redundant from other ELS (i.e. port name and node name), which could be added if needed.
