Hello Carsten,

in today's WG meeting, you mentioned a bar BoF about a rolling MAC
mechanism that could be employed in firmware uploads to make them
actionable as data comes in. Could you elaborate in a few words? In my
understanding, inner blockwise transfers (with either the draft-01 block
chaining or a Request-Tag equivalent) already provide that -- that's why
I care so much about inner-blockwise.

Thanks
Christian
