Ana:

The term is not good to express what we want to.

Normally the idea is to have an integer number of bytes to complete the
fragmentation header format, the term used was byte boundary but this
creates the idea of 1 byte and in some cases, this will not probably be
possible, so inputs to get a term that represents "AN INTEGER NUMBER OF
BYTES" instead of byte boundary

JCZ: I prefer not to limit the protocol to byte boundaries

Ana: I agree that this will depend on technology L2, but:

   - We need a term to identify for example in Abort message the first
   number of entire bytes to add one byte with FF
   - We need to identify the number of bytes for Bitmap

So we need to agree on how to name: "an integer number of bytes"
