The following errata report has been verified for RFC5880, "Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid7083 -------------------------------------- Status: Verified Type: Technical Reported by: Glebs Ivanovskis <gl...@mikrotik.com> Date Reported: 2022-08-12 Verified by: John Scudder (IESG) Section: 6.7.4 Original Text ------------- Otherwise (bfd.AuthSeqKnown is 0), bfd.AuthSeqKnown MUST be set to 1, bfd.RcvAuthSeq MUST be set to the value of the received Sequence Number field, and the received packet MUST be accepted. Replace the contents of the Auth Key/Hash field with the authentication key selected by the received Auth Key ID field. If the SHA1 hash of the entire BFD Control packet is equal to the received value of the Auth Key/Hash field, the received packet MUST be accepted. Otherwise (the hash does not match the Auth Key/Hash field), the received packet MUST be discarded. Corrected Text -------------- Replace the contents of the Auth Key/Hash field with the authentication key selected by the received Auth Key ID field. If the SHA1 hash of the entire BFD Control packet is not equal to the received value of the Auth Key/Hash field, the received packet MUST be discarded. Otherwise, the packet MUST be accepted, bfd.AuthSeqKnown MUST be set to 1, and bfd.RcvAuthSeq MUST be set to the value of the received Sequence Number field. Notes ----- 1. Don't manipulate bfd.AuthSeqKnown and bfd.RcvAuthSeq before Auth Key/Hash check. 2. Explicitly mention what bfd.AuthSeqKnown and bfd.RcvAuthSeq must be set to in both cases (bfd.AuthSeqKnown is 0 and bfd.AuthSeqKnown is 1).
