We CAN use the broadcast MAC for a DLEP destination, thats not the issue... the issue is if we SHOULD use this for using the "Request Link Characteristic" Message for requesting new parameters for the radio session or if we should use a new MESSAGE type for requesting such a change. Not sure why you are talking about a different protocol. Henning Rogge
