Well if they are already finished and ready for submission, there
is not much to do about it, then my suggestion is too late.
Please just submit them as they are.
(If need be someone might convert them at a later stage to port them over to
the pacekt-ber api)
Do consider to use packet-ber and the ASN2ETH compiler for any future
protocols you implement, it is much better.
packet-ber might not implement indefinite length yet, basically
because no one using packet-ber has had any need for this construct
yet.
This can be added to packet-ber as needed.
How big are these protocols? Can you post a specification for them?
Maybe they can be machinegenerated by ASN2ETH?
