RFC 6056, "Recommendations for Transport-Protocol Port Randomization", January 2011

Errata ID: 7873
Status: Reported

Publication Format(s) : TEXT

Section 3.3.3 says:

(this "separation of the
ephemeral port space" means that transport-protocol instances with
different remote endpoints will not have different sequences of port
numbers, i.e., will not be part of the same ephemeral port sequence
as in the case of the traditional BSD ephemeral port selection
algorithm)

It should say:

(this "separation of the
ephemeral port space" means that transport-protocol instances with
different remote endpoints will have different sequences of port
numbers, i.e., will not be part of the same ephemeral port sequence
as in the case of the traditional BSD ephemeral port selection
algorithm)

Notes:

Drop the first "not", otherwise the two parts of the sentence (before and after "i.e.") are contradictory and the whole parenthetical doesn't match the context.
