Hello,

Section 6.7.4 -
Unless I am missing something, it seems to me that the statement in braces
"roughly speaking, due to jitter"
should be applicable in the context of Detection Time rather than 
DetectMult.
The DetectMult is just number of packets and there is no variance there with
jitter.

Also, was there any thinking along the lines of making the "Reg Min Echo RX
Interval" field optional, keeping with the spirit of this function, 
being optional
with either modes. This field could potentially be set to all zeros for 
the entire
length of a session unless changed if the end systems support this 
function.

thanks,
chez
