Errata ID: 3566
Status: Verified
Type: Editorial
Reported By: Dale Worley
Date Reported: 2013-03-26
Verifier Name: Nevil Brownlee
Date Verified: 2013-05-27
Section Metadata says:
RFC 6214 updates RFC 1149, in a similar way to RFC 2549 updating RFC 1149. But there is no metadata in RFC 6214 stating that it updates RFC 1149.
It should say:
"Updates: 1149"
Notes:
I discovered this defect while trying to find what was described to me as "the IPv6 update to 'avian carriers'". So actual people are inconvenienced by this defect.
Errata ID: 2854
Status: Rejected
Type: Technical

Section 3.2 says:
The whole section about the frame format and the lack of Layer2-type, and the technical choice behind it.
It should say:
RFC 6274, section 3.1 explicitely forbids this technique and requires that an IP implementation checks the version number, which will prevent RFC 6214 to work.
Notes:
Yes, I know that this RFC was published on April 1st... Nevertheless, this is an interesting technical point.
--VERIFIER NOTES--
RFC 6274 was published in July 2011, three months after RFC 6214.
Further, RFC 6274 is only Informational. The recommendation that you
mention asserts that "in practice different versions of IP are
identified by a different Protocol Type (e.g., EtherType in the case
of Ethernet) number in the link-layer protocol header." That assertion
is untrue of conforming implementations of RFC 6214, which, apparently,
the authors of RFC 6274 failed to consider.
