Hi Joel,
When the basic payload is used, the IWF of the ingress PE is storing bits (not
bytes) as they come in, waits until enough bits have been received to fill a
payload and once ready creates a PLE packet and sends it across the PSN. The
IWF of the egress PE is doing the reverse in accordan
Correct. In case of the byte-aligned mode, the receiver (IWF) of the ingress PE
is working at byte level and each PLE payload does start with the first bit of
a byte.

Thanks. With regard to the non-byte-aligned payload, I am still
slightly confused. I can well believe this is clear to those working in
the area. But... If the payload is not byte aligned, and bytes are
sent, how does the receiver know how many bits in the last byte to ignore?
Thanks,
Joel
Hi Joel,
Thank you for your review! Let me try to comment/answer here
1) RSV/FRG:
Good catch. We indeed forgot to mention explicitly that payload fragmentation
is not used by PLE. I changed the text for FRG to
These bits MUST be set to zero by the sender and ignored by the receiver as
PLE
