RFC3376, "Internet Group Management Protocol, Version 3", October 2002

Source of RFC: idmr (rtg)

Errata ID: 770

Status: Reported
Type: Technical

Reported By: Rajesh Garg
Date Reported: 2006-03-21

Section 5.2 says:

If new query is Group and Source Specific query and there is pending 
response for this group and recorded source list for the group is empty 
(i.e. previous query was Group Specific query)

It should say:

[see note]

Notes:

In section 5.2 of RFC 3376, 5 sequential steps are given to handle the
received query from the multicast router.
I feel the following case is not handled properly in these steps (see above)

In this case, source list will be cleared as per step 4 of section 5.2.
But I feel the source list should be recorded to generate the report
accordingly.

Notes:

RFC 3376 does not completely replace RFC 2236, so it should say "updates" instead of "obsoletes". Specifically, to have a compliant implementation of RFC 3376 section 4, one MUST understand and implement the "Version 2 Membership Report" and "Version 2 Leave Group" messages. This is why RFC 2236 is listed as a normative reference of RFC 3376. (In general, it should be the case that one cannot obsolete a normative reference.)
