Re: [OPSAWG] [Editorial Errata Reported] RFC8907 (7754)

["Rob Wilton (rwilton)" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Rebecca, authors, OPSAWG,

I think that this errata is valid for both 5.1 and 6.1.  I also noted a similar bug for 5.3 for the user_msg_len field.  I’ve updated the errata report to also cover this.  My intent is verify this errata.

Authors, OPSAWG, please let me know if you have any opinion on this.

Regards,
Rob

Hi Robert,

We are unable to verify this erratum that the submitter marked as editorial, so we changed the Type to “Technical”. As Stream Approver, please review and set the Status and Type accordingly (see the definitions at https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata-definitions/).

Note: A similar issue appears in Section 5.1 (perhaps “user field” here should also read “rem_addr” field):

      The rem_addr_len indicates the length of the user
      field, in bytes.

You may review the report at:

Thank you.
