LMP Questions regarding data link FSM.

["Bhargava, Nidhi" <nidhi.bhargava@netplane.com>]

Hi all
In the draft-ietf-ccamp-lmp-02.txt, section 12.3.2.Data Link Events, the
event evSummaryFail
is suppose to make Data link transition from up/free state to down state.
But no event has been
specified for the data link to move to up/free state from down state during
link property exchange.

The event 5 does this job when the verification is completed or if
verification is not supported. But the 
case where verification hasn't yet been tried (exchanging of link summary),
there is no event to transition
to up/free state.

What will be the state of the data links after the local node has sent the
link summary and waiting for
ack? What will be the state of data links if local and peer nodes support
verification, have already exchanged
link summary but are not yet ready for verification procedure?.


Thanks
