The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5065,
"Autonomous System Confederations for BGP".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:

--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: Ramakrishna DTV <ramakrishnadtv@infosys.com>

Section: 7

Original Text
-------------
   Additionally, confederations (as well as route reflectors), by
   excluding different reachability information from consideration at
   different locations in a confederation, have been shown [RFC3345] to
   cause permanent oscillation between candidate routes when using the
   tie-breaking rules required by BGP [BGP-4].

Corrected Text
--------------
   Additionally, confederations (as well as route reflectors), by
   excluding different reachability information from consideration at
   different locations in a confederation, have been shown [RFC3345] to
   cause persistent oscillation between candidate routes when using the
   tie-breaking rules required by BGP [BGP-4].

Notes
-----
s/permanent/persistent

RFC 3345 nowhere refers to this oscillation as "permanent". It consistently refers to it as "persistent" only.

"Permanent" is a much stronger word than "persistent", and I believe is not applicable here.

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.
