Re: draft-ietf-mboned-ieee802-mcast-problems-07 submitted, new WGLC to be initiated

Thank you for the info Morten. How about if we simply add the text
from your pointer (and include the pointer) to our section 4:

"The CAB (Content after Beacon) queue is used for beacon-triggered
transmission of buffered multicast frames. If lots of multicast frames
were buffered and this queue fills up, it drowns out all regular
traffic. To limit the damage that buffered traffic can do, try to limit
the queued data to beacon_interval."

Is this specific to OpenWRT and why does it show as State: Not Applicable?

We can add you (and or Felix) to the list of contributors. Sound reasonable?
