The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5296,
"EAP Extensions for EAP Re-authentication Protocol (ERP)".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=5296&eid=1845

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Glen Zorn <gwz@net-zen.net>

Section: 2

Original Text
-------------
An ER server is a logical entity; the home ER server is located on the same backend authentication server as the EAP server in the home domain.  The local ER server may not necessarily be a full EAP server.


Corrected Text
--------------
An ER server is a logical entity; it may not necessarily be co-located with, or physically part of, a full EAP server. 

Notes
-----
The original text makes two unwarranted assumptions, which the corrected text eliminates.  The first assumption is that the EAP server in the home domain is located on a back-end authentication (i.e., AAA) server; the second that the home ERP server is also located there.  Neither of these conditions are required and place unnecessary restrictions upon deployment options.

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)
