RFC 3091, "Pi Digit Generation Protocol", April 2001

Errata ID: 4965
Status: Reported
Type: Technical

Throughout the document, when it says:

1.     TCP Based Digit Generator Service

   One REQUIRED PIgen service is defined as a stateless TCP service.  A
   server listens on TCP port 314159.

...

1.1.   Approximate Service

   An OPTIONAL PIgen service is defined as a stateless TCP service.  A
   server listens on TCP port 220007.

...

2.     UDP Based Digit Generator Service

   An OPTIONAL PIgen service is defined as a stateless UDP service.  A
   server listens on UDP port 314159.

...

2.2.   Approximate Service

   An OPTIONAL PIgen service is defined as a stateless UDP service.  A
   server listens on UDP port 220007.

It should say:

1.     TCP Based Digit Generator Service

   One REQUIRED PIgen service is defined as a stateless TCP service.  A
   server listens on TCP port 31415.

...

1.1.   Approximate Service

   An OPTIONAL PIgen service is defined as a stateless TCP service.  A
   server listens on TCP port 22007.

...

2.     UDP Based Digit Generator Service

   An OPTIONAL PIgen service is defined as a stateless UDP service.  A
   server listens on UDP port 31415.

...

2.2.   Approximate Service

   An OPTIONAL PIgen service is defined as a stateless UDP service.  A
   server listens on UDP port 22007.

Notes:

Ports as specified in the original text exceed 16-bit integer space, violating TCP (RFC793 3.1) and UDP (RFC768, "Format"). As it stands, this error prevents development of fully-compliant implementations of this protocol.
Note that in this correction I have elected not to round the TCP and UDP ports in sec. 1 and 2 to 31416 - this is to better-preserve the immediate recognizability of the port as the PIgen service.
Also note that the IP multicast group address specified in sec. 3 exceeds the 32-bit address space specified in RFC 791 sec. 2.3. I have abstained from proposing a correction to this, as I could not think of an IANA-compliant address that still incorporates digits of pi.
