Point 2
The protocol requires that receivers keep a list of active
feeds and certain information about those feeds. We would
like to make explicit what information is needed. We also
want to clarify that the method of discovering some of this
information (in particular, the FUMAC value for an active
feed) is not specified here. This allows for a variety of
encapsulations and implementations. We changed the
text in Section 6.3.3 to be expanded as follow:
+ Based on the reception of HELLO messages, receivers discover the
+ presence of feeds, maintain a list of active feeds, and keep track of
+ the tunnel end-points for those feeds.
+
+ For each active feed, at least the following information will be
+ kept:
+ FUIP - feed unidirectional link IP address
+ FUMAC - MAC address corresponding to the above IP address
+ (FBIP1,...,FBIPn) - list of tunnel end-points
+ tunnel type - tunnel type supported by this feed
+ Seq - "Seq" value from the last HELLO received
+ from this feed
+ timer - used to timeout this entry
+
+ The FUMAC value for an active feed is needed for the
+ operation of this protocol. However, the method of
+ discovery of this value is not specified here.
+
+ Initially, the list of active feeds is empty.
