Re: [Tsvwg] [SCTP] a small correction in RFC 4960

Hi Lars,

I have submitted an errata. The correct text should say in section 8.3:

    When the value of this counter exceeds the protocol parameter
    'Path.Max.Retrans', the endpoint should mark the corresponding
    destination address as inactive if it is not so marked, and may also
    optionally report to the upper layer the change of reachability of
    this destination address.

Best regards
Michael
