The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6290,
"A Quick Crash Detection Method for the Internet Key Exchange Protocol (IKE)".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=6290&eid=3449

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Valery Smyslov <valery@smyslov.net>

Section: 4.1

Original Text
-------------
   o  Protocol ID (1 octet) MUST be 1, as this message is related to an
      IKE SA.


Corrected Text
--------------
   o  Protocol ID (1 octet) MUST be 0.


Notes
-----
RFC5996 (IKEv2) in section 3.10 while describing Protocol ID field in Notify Payload specifies that "If the SPI field is empty, this field MUST be sent as zero and MUST be ignored on receipt". As this RFC requires SPI field to be empty (later in section 4.1), Protocol ID should be zero to be consistent with RFC5996.

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)
