The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6506, "Supporting Authentication Trailer for OSPFv3".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=6506&eid=3567 -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Marek Karasek <[email protected]> Section: 2.2 Original Text ------------- Consistent with OSPFv2 Cryptographic Authentication [RFC2328], both OSPFv3 header checksum calculation and verification are omitted when the OSPFv3 authentication mechanism described in this specification is used. Corrected Text -------------- OSPFv3 authentication mechanism provides capability to detect corruption of OSPFv3 packet, which is under non authenticated operation achieved using OSPFv3 header checksum [RFC 5340] and LLS data block checksum [RFC 5613]. In spirit of OSPFv2 Cryptographic Authentication [RFC2328], OSPFv3 header checksum and LLS Data Block Checksum calculation and verification are omitted when the OSPFv3 authentication mechanism described in this specification is used. Notes ----- RFC does not specify how to work with LLS Data Block Checksum. Errata suggests omit checksum calculation/verification in the same way like for OSPFv3 header checksum. Instructions: ------------- This errata 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 (IESG) can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary. -------------------------------------- RFC6506 (draft-ietf-ospf-auth-trailer-ospfv3-11) -------------------------------------- Title : Supporting Authentication Trailer for OSPFv3 Publication Date : February 2012 Author(s) : M.
