| M2PA-09 says:
| 
|   If M2PA receives a User Data message with an FSN that is out of order,
|   M2PA SHALL place the link out of service (see section 4.1.6 Link Out
|   of Service).
| 
| This conflicts with Q.703 that ignores an MSU that contains an FSN that
| is other than the next expected FSN (i.e, out of order).  This makes it
| difficult to implement (and is probably the last thing standing in the
| way of implementing) something like the following (that was requested by
| ITU):

|                            ____|       |___
| 
| If M2PA discards the message as Q.703 does, and the other end of the
| link was actually broken, the link will be go out of service in due
| course anyway.
| 
| Change to:
| 
|   If M2PA receives a User Data message with an FSN that is out of order,
|   M2PA SHALL discard the message.
