So:

A "collection of NCP message blocks within a symbol" is a sequence of N-1
3-byte NCP Data Message Blocks followed by a 3-byte NCP CRC Message Block?

A "PLC structure as described by section 6.5.1 "PLC Structure" of the
DOCSIS 3.1 MAC and Upper Layer Protocols Interface Specification" is a
sequence of message blocks defined in that section?

In an A-TDMA Burst or an OFDMA Data Burst, what indicates whether it's a
segment or a MAC frame?

An OFDMA REQ (the spec has a typo, referring to it as an "ODMA REQ") is 7
bytes of - something?

An OFDMA Probing Sequence is a sequence of OFDMA symbols; how are those
symbols represented?

"BCH Decoding Successful" and "LDPC Decoding Successful" are Booleans,
with 0 being "false" (unsuccessful) and 1 being "true" (successful)?

What are the units of the Estimated Power Level?

Is the Configuration Info just a text string intended to be read by humans?
