Re: GFP Header - ring extn header

This is to support frames that are designed for ring networks. Notice that in
default pt-to-pt header there are no ring-specific parameters (such as a TTL
to ensure packets don't loop around forever, a bit to reflect a frame is
traveling on a looped protection ring, etc.).

Since 802.17 is still working on frame header structure, the GFP has left open
the definition of ring extension header to 802.17.
