+1 judgement as Stan.

You know my preference: make radio the TCP server.

Isn't this in the transport layer?

I think it is better to specify which node MUST close the connection. That's the one that sends the Reject. The FIN follows. Why SHOULD the other start closing the connection? It can wait on FIN, it MUST come. Or wait for heartbeat dead time, as safeguard.

Not sure what you mean, if TCP server is on modem.
Router SHOULD continue to listen to discovery packets.
FYI: new BGAN terminals support some kind of bonding. Some deploy an RF link with Tx&Rx-only modems.

> c) If the roles are reversed then the 'Accept' message must carry the mandatory TLVs, and an extra 'Unacceptable' message is required from the Router to Modem explaining why the Router closed the connection if it doesn't like the TLVs from the Modem.

So this is the three-way handshake.
I didn't understand why the Router didn't send the full set of supported TLVs. OK, Ik know this is more relevant for link metrics from modem to router. But for protocol specification, I haven't a clear picture what we designed.
