Hi Bernie, Thank you for comments,

-2 for compressed data. I'd like to make 'uncompressed' version and
check if it's acceptable for roll-ish network.

Ah, so your suggestion is to have (for example) three options?:

1) MPL Base configuration
    (P, SE_LIFETIME, {MPL Domain})
2) MPL Control channel configuration
    (C_K, C_MIN, C_MAX, C_T_EXP, {MPL Domain})
3) MPL Data channel configuration
    (D_K, D_MIN, D_MAX, D_T_EXI, {MPL Domain})

For me, duplication of MPL domain (128bit address x 3) seems to be wasteful.

Thanks, I'll add a definition.
