Priority: in the current draft there are eight bits for priority, but there is really no discussion of how priority should be used. This needs to occur somewhere either in this draft or in the expected operations document/section.

Thread 4

Regarding the current draft for RFC5050bis:

 Hop count is a MUST.   As such, why not put it in the primary block instead of as an extension block?

The CRC's specified appear to be far too small for large bundles such as gigabyte size bundles.

Although there's a lot of discussion in the draft on fragmentation, any discussion on reactive fragmentation and how it interacts with security appears to be avoided. This really needs to be ironed out here so that the security protocol can be developed properly.
