L3 guarantees: update to v1.4 & removed last bullet (related to long header packet)
Line 276:
 
===L3 guarantees===
Although details of switches are still out of scope in the UniPro v1.14 spec, L3 allows UniPro v1.0/v1.1/v1.4 devices to serve as endpoints on a network. It therefore guarantees a number of properties to higher layer protocols:
* that packets will be delivered to the addressed destination device (and packets addressed to non-existent devices are discarded)
* that payload sent by an L3 source to a single L3 destination as a series of one or more short-header packets within a single Traffic Class will arrive in order and with the correct payload (reliability)
* a corresponding reliability guarantee for long-header packets
