CaiWei,

the SN-NOT-VALID is for the case, that the de-compressor could not
determine the SN of the packet causing that feedback. This occurs, if
the CRC check fails. Then the de-compressor does not know, where the
error in the packet is and it could be, that the SN was damaged while
transmission (or the CRC value). The de-compressor must put a SN in
the feedback packet, but this SN is (maybe) not valid.

The REJECT option is for the case, that the de-compressor could not
handle the packet (at this moment), but maybe later, I think. Low
memory could cause it. The de-compressor receives a IR packet with a
new CID, but has not enough memory to allocate a new context, for what
reason ever.
