what is the maximum value for initialRequestN?

[NiteshKant]

you mean specify that it is a 32 bit number?

[robertroeser]

The ascii frame shows it's 32-bit which is an integer in java.

So we had an issue with cpp (client) talking to java (server) because uint32 max is negative as a Java int. A went to the protocol doc to clarify, didn't get a clear answer there. So I checked the Java code, saw a long at first but after more digging found a (signed) int.

reactivesocket-core/src/main/java/io/reactivesocket/Frame.java:        public static long initialRequestN(final Frame frame) {
reactivesocket-core/src/main/java/io/reactivesocket/internal/frame/RequestFrameFlyweight.java:        final int initialRequestN,

Ok I kind figured thats where this was going. I added a method internally on the RequestFrameFlyWeight to deal with this.

@tmontgomery
could we reserve the first bit so it's never negative?

This looks consistent now, spec + code in RequestFrameFlyweight
