--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Michael Tüxen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>

Section: 3.2

Original Text
-------------
   1) If the RST bit is set and the sequence number is outside the
      current receive window (SEG.SEQ <= RCV.NXT || SEG.SEQ > RCV.NXT+
      RCV.WND), silently drop the segment.


Corrected Text
--------------
   1) If the RST bit is set and the sequence number is outside the
      current receive window (SEG.SEQ < RCV.NXT || SEG.SEQ >= RCV.NXT+
      RCV.WND), silently drop the segment.


Notes
-----
The condition being corrected should be the opposite of (RCV.NXT <= SEG.SEQ < RCV.NXT+RCV.WND), which is stated in the second item of the enumeration.
