The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5905,
"Network Time Protocol Version 4: Protocol and Algorithms Specification".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid6550

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Ferenc Wágner <wferi@niif.hu>

Section: 8

Original Text
-------------
theta = T(B) - T(A) = 1/2 * [(T2-T1) + (T3-T4)]

Corrected Text
--------------
theta = T(B) - T(A) = 1/2 * [(T2-T1) + (T4-T3)]

Notes
-----
The corresponding code line in A.5.1.1. agrees with this correction:

offset = (LFP2D(r->rec - r->org) + LFP2D(r->dst - r->xmt)) / 2;

taking Figure 7 into account:

| org       | T1         | origin timestamp      |
| rec       | T2         | receive timestamp     |
| xmt       | T3         | transmit timestamp    |
| dst       | T4         | destination timestamp |

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum 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.
