delete lines 16-20.  Add convergence Sub-Layer Configuration Settings to the
Service Flow Configuration Settings

[Reason for Edit]
The convergence sub-layer configuration settings will most likely change on
a connection by connection basis and should be part of the service Flow
Configuration Settings as necessary for the particular type of connection.

delete "Maximum Number of SSs"

It's an old TLV we already removed from section 2.3.

Can an SS be told its Ethernet MAC address or is this just here for
identification?

These items in the configuration file should reference the section in which
delete Payload Header Suppression

This should be activated on a connection by connection basis and therefore
should be part of the Service Flow Configuration Settings

Convergence Sub-layer header in Figure 12 should include "(if required by
CS)"

[Reason for Edit]
Not all convergence sublayers will have Convergence Sublayer headers, and
when they do, they will be specific to the individual convergence sublayer.

Use one of the reserved bits in the header (also downlink header on page 61)
for a packet discard eligibility (PDE) bit.

[Reason for Edit]
many protocols support tagging packets that can be thrown away at congestion
points.  The MAC should support passing this type of information along.

[Detailed Description of Proposed Insertion, Deletion, Change]
use at least 3 of the reserved bits in the header (also downlink header on
page 61) for Convergence sublayer Pass Through (CPT) bits.

[Reason for Edit]
Can eliminate convergence sublayer headers when only a small amount of
information needs to be passed.

Replace the phrase "control and checksum fields" with "control field".
Replace the second sentence with the following sentence: "Additionally, the
MAC PDU CRC must be enabled for the connections on which ARQ is enabled."
In the next sentence change "control field" to "ARQ control field".

[Detailed Description of Proposed Insertion, Deletion, Change]
The CRC should be applied to MAC PDU fragments.

[Reason for Edit]
The FSM field already signals the loss of fragments, so an entire MAC PDU
CRC is unnecessary.  Also, ARQ needs a per fragment CRC to be most
efficient.

payload is unique to the CS, and the MAC is not required to understand the
format of or parse any information from the CS payload.

Delete the last sentence.

[Reason for Edit]
This parameter is not referenced in the UL-MAP, the one from the UCD message
is.  This is a cut and paste error resulting from when the PCD was broken
into the UCD and DCD messages.

Delete the Roll off factor row from the table.
