Re: [sipcore] [Technical Errata Reported] RFC3261 (5619)

[Ben Campbell <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

I think the point of the example was that Alice’s phone could have learned its home proxy via configuration or DHCP. Whether it learns an address, or a name that it then resolves with DNS is not material to the example. Perhaps it would have been more clear if some other word had been chosen than “address”.

I lean towards rejecting this as a technical erratum. If people want to address the use of “address” as an editorial erratum, we could address that with a new errata report (which would likely be marked as “hold for update”.

What do other people think?

Thanks!

Ben.
