Subject: [Rmt] EXP2ST: FLUTE FDT Instance wrap-around

Hi again

Another for the FLUTE-bis is to add a recommendation of FDT Instance value wrap-around along the lines of "do not use a wrapped-around FDT Instance id until it's data has expired or been obsoleted".

It seems rather unlikely that the situation would occur, but if it did such a wrap-around would be identified as the contents in the new FDT Instance of using the same id are going to be different. In anycase, putting the burden on the client to check for this extreme case is unecessary, as a server would not want to create the case (as least as far as my experiencve goes). Hence a strong recommendation seems right.

See some of you in Paris!!!

Cheers, Rod.
