Hello All,

The ICM flag was meant as a transition mechanism for accomodating nodes that were running CM for the IP part and non CM for the POTS/ISDN part.

See also: fts-5001.006 paragraph 5.11. Flag Redundancies.

The CM flag implies ICM: ICM should not be used unless CM is impossible.

So IP only nodes should carry the CM flag, not the ICM flag.

This is a list of nodes with a misplaced ICM flag:
