Hello Working Group,

The MANET WG interim meeting was held today, and at that meeting, there was a request for the synopsis of changes that went into DLEP-10. They are:

-          Added text noting the support for EUI-64 format MAC addresses, as well as EUI-48. The restriction is that the MAC addresses sent by the modem MUST be consistent with the attachment the modem shares with the router (e.g., if the modem is attached via EUI-48, then all MAC addresses MUST be expressed as EUI-48. If the modem is attached with a EUI-64 MAC, then all MAC addresses MUST be in EUI-64).

-          Added text clarifying the fact that the Peer Initialization signal is NOT covered by heartbeats; implementations desirous of timing-out a Peer Initialization signal will need to provide another mechanism.

-          Made consistent the restriction that receipt of an unknown data item MUST result in termination of the peer session.

The other changes were minor (spelling, punctuation, etc.)

Regards,
Stan
