Re: [kitten] [Technical Errata Reported] RFC6680 (4337)

[Kathleen Moriarty <[e-mail]>]

Authors,

Please let us know what you think and if you agree with the errata, is the proposed text good.

We are trying to reduce work load a bit and have chairs/authors handling errata.  Stephen and I will update once we have received guidance.

Thanks,
Kathleen

> RFC 6680 makes no mention of blocking or not blocking on network interaction, though RFC 2743 does.  This seems like the most reasonable interpretation of what is currently in RFC 6680.  Calls which are not explicitly permitted to block are assumed to be not permitted to block.
