number[draft-muhanna-mext-binding-revocation-02]
	
	
	Hi,
	 
	In the draft, there is text mentioning that the initiator of the
BRI message MUST choose a monotonically increasing sequence number.  
	 
	[Ahmad]
	Where are you reading from. Please refer to the latest MEXT wg
draft at the below link:
	
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mext-binding-revocation-0
3.txt 
	 
	 
	 
	Lets consider a case where the BCE has 3 HNPs bound to it. If
the LMA sends a BRI with seq number 5 for {MN-ID, HNP1} and then wants
to send a BRI for {MN-ID, HNP2}. Should it wait till it gets a BRA for
the previous BRI that it sent? If LMA need not wait for the BRA, then it
is possible that MAG receives BRI 5, 6 out of order. In which case, what
should the MAG do, should it ignore BRI 5 as it has already got BRI 6.
	 
	In other words, is the sequence number in BRI indicates some
form of versioning for the deletion or is it just to match only BRA and
identify BRI re-transmissions. If it is the latter, why should it be
monotonically increasing, it can just be unique.
	 
	Am I missing something here?
	 
	Thanks
	Kowsalya
