    Arvola,
    
    You're correct that the constraint as it currently appears would mean the
    final retry has a small chance of occurring after the time to live has
    expired.  In other words, the originator might perform the final retry right
    when the destination is throwing its storage away.  That's why it's > and
    not >=.
    
    later,
        doug

    David:
    
    Section 7.4.5 currently specifies the constraint:
    
        TimeToLive > Timestamp + (Retries * RetryInterval)
    
    Since the Retries count does not include the initial attempt, I think the
    constraint should be changed to
    
        TimeToLive > Timestamp + ((Retries + 1) * RetryInterval)
    
    Regards,
    -Arvola
