The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6056,
"Recommendations for Transport-Protocol Port Randomization".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=6056&eid=2750

--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: Bjoern A. Zeeb <bzeeb+ieft@zabbadoz.net>

Section: 3.3

Original Text
-------------
3.3.1.  Algorithm 1: Simple Port Randomization Algorithm

-           if(check_suitable_port(port))

3.3.2.  Algorithm 2: Another Simple Port Randomization Algorithm

-           if(check_suitable_port(port))

Corrected Text
--------------
3.3.1.  Algorithm 1: Simple Port Randomization Algorithm

+           if(check_suitable_port(next_ephemeral))

3.3.2.  Algorithm 2: Another Simple Port Randomization Algorithm

+           if(check_suitable_port(next_ephemeral))

Notes
-----
For neither Algorithm 1 or 2 the pseudo code defines "port" as a valid variable.
The variable passed to check_suitable_port() should be "next_ephemeral" in these cases.
It looks like a copy and paste error. The technical meaning is still clear.

Instructions:
-------------
This errata 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)
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
