Next Steps Errata 5170, 5171, 5172, 5173 on RFC8200

[Bob Hinden <[e-mail]>]

Hello,

Following up on the discussion from the 6man and the discussion on the IPv6 list, Three files are attached:

sec4-5-orig.txt                  The original section 4.5 from RFC8200
sec4-5-new.txt                   The proposed section 4.5 replacement
sec4-5-new-from-orig.diff.html   A diff of the two.

This incorporates one change agreed to on the list to change the text describing the first fragment packet from:

    (4)  The first fragment.

  to:

    (4)  The remainder of the first fragment.

The plan agreed to with Suresh, our Internet AD, is to open a new Errata that describes the errors in the Fragmentation text in Section 4.5 of RFC8200 and include the revised text in sec4-5-new.txt in the errata, and then close Errata 5170, 5171, 5172, and 5173 as “Rejected" with a pointer to the new Errata.  The new Errata would then be marked as “Held for Document Update”.

This will be discussed at the first 6MAN session on Thursday in Singapore.

Thanks
Bob & Ole
