Re: [multimob] Working group last call for draft-ietf-multimob-fmipv6-pfmipv6-multicast-05

["Thomas C. Schmidt" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Stig, Dirk,

we just updated the document - sorry for me being slow.

We have fixed all nits that you pointed at.

In particular, the length counter issue should be resolved now: As this 
inherited 8 bit length counter is not long enough to count bytes of MLD 
state records, we propose to count four octets. This complies to the 
alignment and should not be a problem. However, it leads to a feasible 
number of MLD records in the payload which at least comes close to 
common packet lengths.

Best,

Thomas
