Brian,

There should be also some effort from the authors to
provide a bit of a framework on how to test based on 
"packet id aware equations" (especially with regard to the notion of
relative ordering of packets arriving at different interfaces, which is 
fundamental to the soundness of the packet id aware equation, if
my understanding is not wrong). Any tip welcome.
