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

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid7873

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Štěpán Němec <stepnem@smrk.net>

Section: 3.3.3

Original Text
-------------
(this "separation of the
ephemeral port space" means that transport-protocol instances with
different remote endpoints will not have different sequences of port
numbers, i.e., will not be part of the same ephemeral port sequence
as in the case of the traditional BSD ephemeral port selection
algorithm)

Corrected Text
--------------
(this "separation of the
ephemeral port space" means that transport-protocol instances with
different remote endpoints will have different sequences of port
numbers, i.e., will not be part of the same ephemeral port sequence
as in the case of the traditional BSD ephemeral port selection
algorithm)

Notes
-----
Drop the first "not", otherwise the two parts of the sentence (before and after "i.e.") are contradictory and the whole parenthetical doesn't match the context.

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". (If it is spam, it 
will be removed shortly by the RFC Production Center.) Please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party  
will log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
