RE: M2PA Alignment Clarification

Brian:

So, a stream synchronization error was created during alignment due to
normal, real-life network conditions.  How should the link recover -
that was my original question?  Force the link down and attempt to
re-establish the link?

Is there a better method?  What about acknowledging the proving messages
in some fashion?

Mark,

Regardless, ignoring errors during alignment is not an answer.
