Section 2.2.1.1 says:
3. Set N’= L/1024
It should say:
3. Set N = L/1024
Notes:
The definition of N' is not used in the document. On line 19 of the algorithm, we have "If counter < (4096 * N) then go to 8.". Hence, either the definition on line 3 has to be N instead of N', or it should be N' instead of N on line 19.
