The following errata report has been submitted for RFC3168,
"The Addition of Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to IP".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid6494

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Joe Touch <touch@strayalpha.com>

Section: Header

Original Text
-------------
Updates: 2474, 2401, 793 

Corrected Text
--------------
Updates: 2474, 2401, 793, 791

Notes
-----
This is the first standards-track RFC to assign the two unused bits of the IP TOS byte to ECN. Granted it was suggested in RFC2481, but that was experimental and unable to update RFC791 because it would create a downref.

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  
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
