According to rfc8662, when a new MSD is defined, the document MUST indicate the meaning of the absence of the MSD advertisement. For example, it says this about the BMI-MSD: "The absence of BMI-MSD advertisements indicates only that the advertising node does not support advertisement of this capability." Also, I need you to talk about the interaction between ERLD-MSD and BMI-MSD. If both are present, what should happen? Should one take precedence, should both be ignored, can they coexist without issues??? Thanks!
