Hi,
I have a few questions regarding draft-schmutzer-bess-ple-01<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-schmutzer-bess-ple-01>.


1.       Section 4.2.1 of the draft says that the FRG bits in the CW "MUST be set to zero by the sender and ignored by the receiver except for frame aligned payloads; see Section 5.2."  However, this is the only mention of frame-aligned payload in the -01 version of the draft, and section 5.2 in this version is called "Byte aligned Payload".  My guess is that frame-aligned payload for ODUk streams have been dropped completely, and that the FRG bits must always be set to zero by the sender and ignored by the receiver - can you please confirm?

2.       Section 5.2 of the draft seems to imply that byte-aligned payload is only applicable to the PLE services emulating ODUk streams. Can you please confirm that this mode is not applicable to, say, OC-192 (SONET framing creates native bye alignment)?

3.       Section 6.2.2 states that "the payload of a lost packet MUST be replaced with equivalent amount of replacement data".  Can you please clarify how wraparound of the 16-bit sequence number (be it in the PW control word or in the RTP header)  affects ability to determine the required amount of replacement data? For the reference, with the default payload size for such streams as OC-192 or ODU2, wraparound of 16-bit sequence number will happen approximately every 20 milliseconds.




Your  feedback would be highly appreciated.

Regards, and lots of thanks in advance,
Sasha
