The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5764,
"Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) Extension to Establish Keys for the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP)".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=5764&eid=3913

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Martin Thomson <martin.thomson@gmail.com>

Section: 5.1.2

Original Text
-------------
Arriving packets may be of types RTP, DTLS, or STUN [RFC5389].
...
                   |       B < 2   -+--> forward to STUN
...
If the value of this byte is 0 or 1, then the packet is STUN.

Corrected Text
--------------
Arriving packets may be of types RTP, DTLS, or STUN [RFC5389].  
STUN messages with methods identifiers of 1280 or higher cannot 
be demultiplexed.
...
                   |       B < 20  -+--> forward to STUN
...
If the value of this byte is less than 20, then the packet is STUN.

Notes
-----
This is a tricky one.  We can't distinguish all STUN message types, because - at least in theory - new message types >= 1280 can be added to STUN, which could collide with DTLS.

Instructions:
-------------
This errata is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG)
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
