Verification summary: 1312
• Within a single frame, the DUT must send all higher-priority information before sending any 1313
lower- priority information. 1314
• If the MAC command buffer is too large to fit in the frame, the DUT must truncate the buffer at 1315
the end of the last MAC command that is able to fit within the frame. 1316
• The DUT must execute the full list of MAC commands even if the buffer containing the MAC 1317
answers is truncated 1318
