ok

I modified the text to read:

"In this document, we define SONET/SDH technology specific information
needed for the LMP link verification procedure.  These procedures require a
new trace monitoring function that is introduced in this document.  Once the
data links have been verified, they can be grouped to form TE links."

The frame length is implicit in the Trace Type (J0/J1/J2).
