Henning,

I'm not trying to second guess the intent. My issues are solely with the
presentation. And clearly this is not a subject I'm knowledgeable about,
so I'm going solely from what I read in this draft without any other
context. Somebody who has the proper context to be reading this may well
not find it at all confusing. Nevertheless, see inline.

No problem...

So, if I do 9.3 for every packet, and then also do 9.4 for every HELLO
message within that packet, then I could end up incrementing
L_DAT_received[TAIL] *twice*.

If you look at the head of section 9.3 you will notice that this section
will only be processed in the presence of a packet sequence number. One
of the first things 9.3 does is to set the L_DAT_last_pkt_seqno variable.

OK. My mistake. Because 9.3 sets L_DAT_last_pkt_seqno it won't get
updated again in 9.4.

But then, what is the purpose step 3 of 9.4? If 9.3 is always applied
before 9.4, then L_DAT_last_pkt_seqno can never be undefined in 9.4.

It could be that you have a neighbor that will never deliver a packet sequence number, so 9.3 will never apply.

Because I am not sure if packet (9.3) or message (9.4) processing is done first, I make sure to overwrite the data in the current element of the queue in 9.3 when I discover the packet sequence number.

P.S.: I will be away from work in December, so I added my private email hro...@gmail.com to this thread.
