So, 17+14+4=35 bytes of per-packet overhead for a downstream DOCSIS MAC Frame.  For upstream packets, there will typically be only the 6-byte MAC Header, plus the 4 byte Upstream Privacy EH version 2 Element, so 10+14+4=28 bytes of per-packet overhead for an Upstream DOCSIS MAC Frame.

	I fully agree, thanks a lot! Note to self, now it is clear that upstream and downstream overhead need independent entry fields…
