DISCUSS:

Thanks for the hard work on this protocol. I have some comments, based on
a review by Suresh Krishnan, that I think should be addressed before
final approval of the document.

First, Section 5.1 should be clear that when used over a reliable
transport, not only should the F flag be ignore but that the fragment
fields (last four bytes) are not in the packet.

Second, Section 6.2.3 should be clear that the header accompanies all
fragments. As a result, the current formula for calculating the number of
fragments is probably wrong. This too should be updated.
