HI Russ:
I understand your major concern. How does this work?
This encapsulation is expected to be used in environments where RFC 2516 is
deployed. Therefore implementations MUST examine the version number:
- if the version number is 1, and PPPoE [RFC2516] is supported, process the
frame further, else silently discard it.
- if the version number is 2 and 5WE is supported, process the frame
further, else silently discard it.
In both cases frames for the supported version number should have session
IDs corresponding to established sessions for the respective protocol models. A
5WE frame with an unrecognized session ID MUST be silently discarded.
We'll correct the minor nit along with the wherever we get to with the above,
and any other updates that come out of the LC.
Rgds
Dave

Summary: Almost Ready
Thank you for addressing all of the concerns raie in my earlier review.
Major Concerns:
Section 1 says:
This encapsulation is expected to be used in environments where RFC
2516 is deployed. Therefore implementations are required to examine
the version number and react accordingly.
Please reword as a MUST statement. Also, a simple sentence that tells the
implementer how to "react accordingly" is needed. I suspect that one should
follow RFC 2516 if the version is 0x01 and follow this memo if the version is
0x02.
Minor Concerns:
None.
Nits:
Section 1 says: "... same offset as the [RFC2516] PPPoE data ...".
The [RFC2516] is placed in an awkward location in the sentence.
