Should this not be notenoughin future implementations, it can be increased to e.g. uint128_tSo it should be treated as an opaque array of bytes, with no significance to the values of the bytes, and used only for matching bursts and the MAC frames contained within them by comparing the byte arrays for equality?Yes, this is correct.What does the Burst ID Reference field contain? Another burst ID?The Burst ID reference is the same as the Burst ID. Burst IDs are usedindatabursts, while Burst ID references are used in Mac Frames. For the moment, these are both uint64_t.I.e., one or more MAC frames can be transmitted in a burst, and a capture can contain a record for a burst as well as records for the MAC frames within the burst, with the record for the burst having a Burst ID parameter, and all the records for the MAC frames in that burst have a Burst ID Reference parameter containing the burst ID value for the burst in which it appeared?This is also correct.
