OK

The reason for this design is to keep the marker content independent of the marker interval.

Please note also that in calculating where to place markers you should assume that markers have been inserted everywhere (including Login) although they are not inserted during login.  This will allow parties not to remember where login ended.

Julian,

 

The explanation of markers says:

 
 Anything counted in the TCP sequence-number is
 counted for the offset. Specifically this includes any bytes
 "inserted" in the TCP stream by an UFL and it excludes any other
 markers inserted between the one we are examining and the next PDU
 header.
 
The part that says “specifically” seems to contradict the previous sentence because the markers are counted in the TCP sequence-number. May I suggest changing it to:
 
 With one exception, anything counted in the TCP sequence-number is
 counted for the offset. Specifically this includes any bytes
 "inserted" in the TCP stream by an UFL. The exception excludes any other
 markers inserted between the one we are examining and the next PDU
 header.
