M2PA retransmission: possible consistency issue

Hi,

seeing that M2PA retransmission issues have been discussed before I am
prepared to accept things as they are. However, I think there is a
consistency issue in RFC 4165 concerning retransmissions.

4.1.1. states:

[...]
"Since SCTP provides reliable delivery and ordered delivery, M2PA does
not perform retransmissions."
[...]

While this statement perfectly makes sense, it might seem that this is
in contrast to the fact that there is an M2PA retransmission buffer for
'special purpose'. As I see things, "does not perform retransmissions"
means there is no retransmission buffer.

Regards,

Lothar
