<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">Felix, I just realized that I conflated sequence counter and timestamp handling. My understanding now is that what is thought to be unique about a packet's identification is the combination of time-stamp/node
 ID/sequence number within a time-interval which might be as short as 1 millisecond. As long as the rate at which bundles are produced does not exceed the value the sequence counter can reach over the course of a millisecond (or more?), this identification
 will be unique. Assuming that understanding is correct, then we still need to think through predictive attacks (generate a bundle that will appear to be valid based on identification) and replay attacks.  Does this sound like a correct understanding?<u></u><u></u></p>
