Ajay, could you explain what you mean by *channel
utilization* more detail ? I did remember you and DJ
said that at the March meeting.

I guess it's a traditional trade-off, yep, we can think the lenght
of 8-bit is not sufficient, but in other side, we can feel this
length is sufficient to let STA know either L2 handover or L3.
Above all, I could not see more reserved field except 8-bit of
Capability Information in the Beacon. If I missed anything,
we can use it of course.
