 Hi all,
I read this draft, and it is useful to have such MAC withdraw mechanism.
Besides the comments from Sasha, as for the default retransmission timer,
it should be careful to have this. When the total retransmission time is
larger than the MAC aging time, then it is not necessary to retransmit
MAC-withdraw message. And in order to be more reliable, when transmission,
three instances of the message in succession,
separated with an appropriate delay is recommended.
