RE: Two week Last Call on LMP (Sections 12.3.3 and 12.3.4)



Looking at the Data Link FSMs in Sections 12.3.3 and 12.3.4 of
draft-ietf-ccamp-lmp-02.txt:

1) It appears that in the Down state, the control channel can be either
up or
down. That being the case, there should be transitions for events 1
:evCCUp:
and 2 :evCCDown: from Down to Down.

2) Transition 10:evLnkDealloc: from Deg to Down would appear to be
impossible,
as there is no control channel available, and the control channel is
required to coordinate taking the channel down at both ends. I believe
this
transition should be removed.

With these changes, the FSMs would look like:
