Thanks for the CC.

I think this is not entirely correct. AFAICS the 250ms wait is indeed
explicitly stated.
The following is taken from ISO 11783-5:

In "4.4.4.3 Address violation" it states that "If a CF receives a message,
other than the address-claimed message, which uses the CF’s own SA, then the
CF [...] shall send the address-claim message to the Global address."

So the CF shall claim its address again. But further down, in "4.5.2 Address
claim requirements" it is stated that "...No CF shall begin, or resume,
transmission on the network until 250 ms after it has successfully claimed an
address".

At this moment, the address is in dispute. The affected CFs are not allowed to
send any other messages until this dispute is resolved, and the standard
requires a waiting time of 250ms which is minimally deemed necessary to give
all participants time to respond and eventually dispute the address claim.

If the offending CF ignores this dispute and keeps sending incorrect messages
faster than every 250ms, then effectively the other CF has no chance to ever
resume normal operation because its address is still disputed.

According to 4.4.4.3 it is also required to set a DTC, but it will not be
allowed to send the DM1 message unless the address dispute is resolved.

This effectively leads to the offending CF to DoS the affected CF if it keeps
sending offending messages. Unfortunately neither J1939 nor ISObus takes into
account adversarial behavior on the CAN network, so we cannot do anything
about this.

As for the ISObus compliance tool that is mentioned by Devid, IMHO this
compliance tool should be challenged and fixed, since it is broken.

The networking layer is prohibiting the DM1 message to be sent, and the
networking layer has precedence above all superior protocol layers, so the
diagnostics layer is not able to operate at this moment.

Best regards,
