Just considering the simple case of non-fragmented user messages, you can't guarantee that user messages of a particular stream have increasing TSNs, since there can be wrap arounds due to chunks belonging to other streams. The TSN are 32-bit numbers with serial arithmetic... Best regards Michael > > > > > use MID to reassemble correctly.
