Resolution:
In 11.2.6.secMac[2].NOT_USED, change "zero" to "all ones". In 11.4.7 change "This ATT supplies two 48-bit secondary MAC addresses" to "This ATT supplies two fields, each of which contains either a 48-bit unicast secondary MAC address, or the NOT_USED (all ones) value".

Resolution:
Change "The left column specifies the P1-span and P2-span degradations that lead to the protected topology figure in the right column." to "The left column specifies the P1-span and P2-span protection states that lead to the protected topology figure in the right column.".
Change the first two column headings in Figure 11-29 to "P1 span state" and "P2 span state".
Change "An MS on two distinct spans causes both to be cleared, because the precedence is ambiguous, but an MS on two links of a span still results in an edge." to "Concurrent MS protection states on two distinct spans causes both to be cleared, because the precedence is ambiguous. If one MS is known to be active on one span, an MS request for another span is rejected. Two MS requests on two links of the same span still results in an edge.".

Resolution:
Remove Row 6.

Add a row into the COPY state before Row 17 with a condition of "frame.fcs != Crc32(frame)" and an action of "badRxFcsFrames +=1; Enqueue(Q_RX_F_D_CNT, frame);" and a next state of "START".
Remove the row description of Row 6.
Modify the row description of Row 7 from "Discard bad-payload data frames." to "Discard bad-payload data frames if the client does not want them.".
Add a row description for the new row before Row 17 consisting of the former Row 6's description.

Resolution:
Add the following lines to the beginning of page 340 (directly before "// Edge reached").

Note: The declation of Max() will be resolved as part MR 23.
