>    Consistent with OSPFv2 Cryptographic Authentication [RFC2328], both

> 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.
