Dear Vasil, Jacob
Very thank you for your clarification. In my opinion there are lacks in the
documentation so I will add a few more sentences about the PDUs and what it
means exactly and how to interpret it compared to the standard messages in
GNU Radio. In the issue 4191
<https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/issues/4191> provided by Vasil, it is
explained beautifully what are the differences. In my opinion, Jacob's
explanation should be copied and pasted somewhere in the wiki because it's
simple and easy.
Best regards,
Marcin
