RE: I-D Action: draft-nishida-tsvwg-sctp-failover-04.txt

Hi,

One additional comment to the draft.
Not sure about whether it has been raised already though.

The aggressive HBs sent on a potentially failed destination address should not contribute
to the association overall error counter. I.e., a failed HB should not increment the associations error counter.

At least that it how I firmly believe that things should be as the robustness of the 
association error count should not be impacted by the more aggressive HB probing
(Also simply following the approach of RFC4960 Path Verification. 5.4 of RFC4960)

Would it be possible to have this explicitly clarified in the draft ?

Thanks.
BR, Karen

Hi folks,

Based on the michael's review, we have updated the sctp failover draft.
We believe we addressed the comments we got so far.

Please let us know if we overlook something or if you have more comments.

Thanks,
