            The ACK window shift may be different for the downstream and upstream directions. The ACK window shift
            parameter is selected by the receiver and communicated to the peer transmitter during the initialization in
            O-PMS and R-PMS message, respectively.

            The ACK field of the RMC message shall include acknowledgements for the received DTUs in the form of a
            bitmap and an acknowledgement for the RMC frame. Each bit in the ACK bitmap relates to a DTU or group
            of consecutive DTUs contained in the received data frames within the associated ACK window. The bitmap
            shall include DTU acknowledgements starting with the first DTU ending within the ACK window and ending
            with  the  last  full  DTU  ending  within  the  same  ACK  window.  The  ACK  bitmap  with  no  grouping  shall
            incorporate acknowledgements to all DTUs received in the ACK window. Bits of the ACK bitmap that relate
            to DTUs that were not transmitted shall be set to "0". In case of grouping, the value of the ACK bits for
            groups shall be determined only based on the received DTUs.
            The ACK bitmap field size shall be 48 bits. The ACK bitmap shall be ordered according to the order of the
            transmitted DTUs, where the acknowledgement to the last transmitted DTU in the ACK window shall be
            represented by the LSB of the ACK bitmap field.
