The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5340, "OSPF for IPv6".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=5340&eid=3350 -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Michael Barnes <[email protected]> Section: 2.7 Original Text ------------- o Two Options bits, the "R-bit" and the "V6-bit", have been added to the Options field for processing router-LSAs during the SPF calculation (see Appendix A.2). If the "R-bit" is clear, an OSPF speaker can participate in OSPF topology distribution without being used to forward transit traffic; this can be used in multi- homed hosts that want to participate in the routing protocol. The V6-bit specializes the R-bit; if the V6-bit is clear, an OSPF speaker can participate in OSPF topology distribution without being used to forward IPv6 datagrams. If the R-bit is set and the V6-bit is clear, IPv6 datagrams are not forwarded but datagrams belonging to another protocol family may be forwarded. Corrected Text -------------- o Two Options bits, the "R-bit" and the "V6-bit", have been added to the Options field for processing router-LSAs during the SPF calculation (see Appendix A.2). If the "R-bit" is clear, an OSPF speaker can participate in OSPF topology distribution without being used to forward transit traffic; this can be used in multi- homed hosts that want to participate in the routing protocol. An Area Border Router MUST advertise a consistent R-bit setting in its self-originated router-LSAs for all attached areas. The V6-bit specializes the R-bit; if the V6-bit is clear, an OSPF speaker can participate in OSPF topology distribution without being used to forward IPv6 datagrams. If the R-bit is set and the V6-bit is clear, IPv6 datagrams are not forwarded but datagrams belonging to another protocol family may be forwarded.
