Donald and Joe, I will let you decide whether the erratum is correct.
-éric From: RFC Errata System <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, 23 May 2024 at 11:33 To: [email protected] <[email protected]>, [email protected] <[email protected]>, [email protected] <[email protected]>, [email protected] <[email protected]>, Eric Vyncke (evyncke) <[email protected]>, Juan Carlos Zuniga (juzuniga) <[email protected]>, [email protected] <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] <[email protected]>, [email protected] <[email protected]>, [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [Technical Errata Reported] RFC9542 (7952) The following errata report has been submitted for RFC9542, "IANA Considerations and IETF Protocol and Documentation Usage for IEEE 802 Parameters". -------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid7952 -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Nikolai Malykh <[email protected]> Section: 2.1 Original Text ------------- For global addresses, X = 0 and a MAC address begins with 3 octets or a larger initial prefix indicating the assignee of the block of MAC addresses. This prefix is followed by a sequence of additional octets so as to add up to the total MAC address length. For example, the IEEE assigns MAC Address Block Small (MA-S), where the first four and a half octets (36 bits) are assigned, giving the holder of the MA-S one and a half octets (12 bits) they can control in constructing 48-bit MAC addresses; other prefix lengths are also available [IEEEtutorials]. Corrected Text -------------- For global addresses, X = 0 and a MAC address begins with 3 octets or a larger initial prefix indicating the assignee of the block of MAC addresses. This prefix is followed by a sequence of additional bits so as to add up to the total MAC address length. For example, the IEEE assigns MAC Address Block Small (MA-S), where the first four and a half octets (36 bits) are assigned, giving the holder of the MA-S one and a half octets (12 bits) they can control in constructing 48-bit MAC addresses; other prefix lengths are also available [IEEEtutorials]. Notes ----- It is incorrect to talk about additional octets here, since the prefix size may not be an integer number of octets. It is appropriate to speak about additional bits. Instructions: ------------- This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". (If it is spam, it will be removed shortly by the RFC Production Center.) Please use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party will log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary. -------------------------------------- RFC9542 (draft-ietf-intarea-rfc7042bis-11) -------------------------------------- Title : IANA Considerations and IETF Protocol and Documentation Usage for IEEE 802 Parameters Publication Date : April 2024 Author(s) : D.
