The bit locations for the M, D, and R bits of the HdrCt field are not specified in either figure 7 or 8. Based on the order in which they are listed on page 39 under HdrCt, it is clear that a "normal" engineer would assume that the M bit goes into the MSB. However, there may be "MSB challenged" engineers who believe that the M bit belongs in the LSB of the field. Since there may be some "MSB challenged" engineers in our midst, we probably ought to specify this. Barry Reinhold Lamprey Networks [email protected] (603) 868-8411
