Hello Pascal,

 

I have a few comments/questions regarding you fragment recovery
proposal. 

 

In your recoverable fragment header:

 

Sequence number: At this point the consensus is that fragment sizes are
fixed. This deems the sequence number redundant since you can easily
extract the "sequence" number from the datagram offset, and needs not be
sent over the wireless media.

 

Fields in re-coverable fragment header: I am wondering what the
rationale is behind changing the order of the header fields:

 

RFC[4944] -> datagram size, datagram tag, datagram offset

 

Re-coverable fragment: datagram offset, datagram tag, SEQUENCE (see
above, this is redundant), datagram size.

 

Any reasons for re-arranging the order of the fields?

 

Thank you.
