The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5884, "Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for MPLS Label Switched Paths (LSPs)".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5085 -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Balaji Rajagopalan <bala...@juniper.net> Section: 6 Original Text ------------- The egress LSR MAY respond with an LSP Ping Echo reply message that carries the local discriminator assigned by it for the BFD session. Corrected Text -------------- The egress LSR MUST respond with an LSP Ping Echo reply message that MAY carry the local discriminator assigned by it for the BFD session. Notes ----- It is not clear from the original text which of the following is optional: - The egress MUST send a reply, but the discriminator in the reply is optional - The reply itself is optional Technically, the reply cannot be optional, because the egress needs to report LSP-Ping verification status to the ingress. The proposed text recommends to include BFD discriminator in the reply. This was the intent of the original text. 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. -------------------------------------- RFC5884 (draft-ietf-bfd-mpls-07) -------------------------------------- Title : Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for MPLS Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Publication Date : June 2010 Author(s) : R.
