Anoop,
Thanks for the comments.

My intent was to document what gets passed over the
802.17 MAC service interface. If I missed something,
please let me know.

I believe that the parameters that I've specified are the same
for unicast, multicast, and broadcast (and ARP). Again, if I've
missed something, please let me know.

Thanks again
