>> I know it’s confusing; it confused some people here. One thing, other than the inconsistent differences, that contributed to their confusion was that RFC3382 was publish in September of 2002 and PWG5100.3 was published in February of 2001. Their initial assumption was that newer spec should be correct. They did not read the fine print in section 5 that indicates the definitions are informative. Furthermore there is no reference, normative or informative, that points to the official definition.
>> I’d like to see the 6 mistakes in rfc3382 corrected. It might also be a good idea to include at least an informative reference to PWG5100.3.
