M2PA is no different than MTP2 in this respect.  In the time that it
takes to clear the output channel of other messages, the BSNT could be
updated by the acknowledgement of additional messages received and
processed on the input channel.  So, although the acknowledgement is
immediate, depending on the precise implementation, the acknowledgement
emitted on the wire can acknowledge multiple received messages.

M2PA is no different than MTP2 in this respect: MTP2 does not
acknowledge invalid FSNs and neither does M2PA.
