The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6347,
"Datagram Transport Layer Security Version 1.2".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=6347&eid=4642

--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: Dale R. Worley <worley@ariadne.com>

Section: 4.1

Original Text
-------------
   version
      The version of the protocol being employed.  This document
      describes DTLS version 1.2, which uses the version { 254, 253 }.
      The version value of 254.253 is the 1's complement of DTLS version
      1.2.  This maximal spacing between TLS and DTLS version numbers
      ensures that records from the two protocols can be easily
      distinguished.  It should be noted that future on-the-wire version
      numbers of DTLS are decreasing in value (while the true version
      number is increasing in value.)


Corrected Text
--------------
Replace "1's complement of DTLS version" with "1's complement
of TLS version":

   version
      The version of the protocol being employed.  This document
      describes DTLS version 1.2, which uses the version { 254, 253 }.
      The version value of 254.253 is the 1's complement of TLS version

      numbers of DTLS are decreasing in value (while the true version
      number is increasing in value.)


Notes
-----
Clearly this won't confuse the reader, but it is incorrect as written and should be corrected at some time.

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)
