The following errata report has been rejected for RFC8402,
"Segment Routing Architecture".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid7546

--------------------------------------
Status: Rejected
Type: Technical

Reported by: Praveen Kumar <pravkum4@cisco.com>
Date Reported: 2023-06-19
Rejected by: James Guichard (IESG)

Section: 1

Original Text
-------------
The active segment is indicated by the Destination Address (DA) of the packet.
The next active segment is indicated by the SegmentsLeft (SL) pointer in the SRH.

Corrected Text
--------------
Not sure of the exact corrected text but I feel SegmentsLeft (SL) pointer denotes the active segment, not the next active segment.

Notes
-----
SL is the active segment
 --VERIFIER NOTES-- 
I am rejecting this errata as https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8200#section-4.4 says “Number of route segments remaining, i.e., number of explicitly listed intermediate nodes still to be visited before reaching the final destination.”. In my opinion, the existing text for RFC 8402 is accurate based on the quoted text of RFC 8200.
