Hi,

ECR rfi-n-98012, parts of which I have included below, has "ramifications"
on the RF MIB object docsIfQosProfMaxTxBurst.

Does the term "ramifications" imply that since this ECR has been accepted,
that vendors should change the mib object range to accomodate bytes instead
of minislots? Or, does it mean that a new ECR should be created to effect
this change?

Thanks
