Which proves my point. The specification is not sufficient if you have
to keep correcting me.
The kAPI should be understandable by somebody who has a general
networking background. Please write a specification with that
assumption in mind. Don't assume the reader is a test engineer who has
used PRBS for half his life. Assume it is a brand new test engineer
who is hearing PRBS for the first time. That is what most engineers on
the netdev list are. Me included.
