Hi,

After reading through your draft on the extensions to PSC to support SD
situations, I have a question for clarification -
In your introduction - you state that the method used to detect SD
situations is out-of-scope of the document. Does this mean that PSC is
supposed to be agnostic to the method used for this detection? It should
react only to the indication, similarly to the reaction and relationship to
the method for detecting and declaring a SF situation.
However, when you explain the behavior of the SD protection in section 7.3
you have a paragraph that starts with "If the detection of a SD depends on
the presence of user data packets ..."  that seems to indicate that the
behavior of the system is dependent upon the detection method!
Clarification would be appreciated.

Thanx and BR,
