--------------------------------------
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.
