Re: Rmt Digest, Vol 66, Issue 8

According to the text from RFC 5445 Section 3.2.2.2:

"Maximum-Source-Block-Length: a non-negative integer, less than 2^^32,  
indicating the maximum number of source symbols in a source block"

it's in "symbols"  ...

So the question is whether a 32-bit symbol id was intended or if the  
block length should be 16-bits.  I would _guess_ the latter was the  
intention given this is the _compact_ no FEC scheme?
