   I've done some research and cant see anything authoritative that it does. But   
   MBSE does report this in the logs:   
      
   + 06-Sep-2018 23:58:35 mbfido[1186] Packet   : 03e04a78.pkt type 2+   
   + 06-Sep-2018 23:58:35 mbfido[1186] From     : 3:65535/509.1 to 3:633/509

   Thats an indicator that it is a 2+ packet right? So does that mean my MBSE is   
   not handling it correctly? I recall somewhere a config about 4d packets, need   
   to look for that, perhaps that is the problem?

   Awesome, I'll take a look.   
      
   Thanks...
