The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5880, "Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid7240 -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Jeffrey Haas <jh...@juniper.net> Section: 6.8.1 Original Text ------------- bfd.LocalDiag The diagnostic code specifying the reason for the most recent change in the local session state. This MUST be initialized to zero (No Diagnostic). Corrected Text -------------- [Proposed text] bfd.LocalDiag The diagnostic code specifying the reason for the most recent change in the local session state. This MUST be initialized to zero (No Diagnostic). It MUST also be re-initialized to zero (No Diagnostic) when the local session state transitions to Up. Notes ----- RFC 5880 at various points calls out setting the value of bfd.LocalDiag as part of state transitions. The text defining the feature calls for it to be initialized to zero. However, it doesn't define under what conditions it should be re-initialized to zero. One possible place where it may be reinitialized is when the session transitions back to Up, indicating that prior issues may have been cleared. 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. -------------------------------------- RFC5880 (draft-ietf-bfd-base-11) -------------------------------------- Title : Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) Publication Date : June 2010 Author(s) : D.
