LMP Question: data link FSMs



I have a couple of problems with the Data Link FSMs in
draft-ietf-ccamp-lmp-01.txt. Event 14:evdcDown appears to be an
administrative action, as opposed to the failure event
13:evLocalizeFail. That being the case, event 14:evdcDown should only
transit from Up/Free to Down.

If this understanding is correct, suggested FSMs are included below. In
the passive case, transition 13 would need something like
ChannelFailNack to trigger it.

   Figure 5 illustrates operation of the LMP active data link FSM in a 
   form of FSM state transition diagram.
