Subject: [bess] Re: [Editorial Errata Reported] RFC9136 (8474)

Hi Madison. Many thanks.

Hi Jeffrey, BESS WG,

Many thanks for submitting the errata.

While processing this errata, I have a clarification question, as I am not 
convinced the errata is correct:

(rendering line numbers via: 
https://author-tools.ietf.org/api/idnits?url=https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9136.txt
 )

The first instance of "SN1" is on line number 285 (in the Figure 1) and line 
325 (in te body of text) The first instance of "SN1/24" is on line number 753 
(=much later and after explanation is means a /24 subnet of SN1 on line 752 & 
753)  

This brings me to the suggested errata:

> Original Text
> -------------
752        An example of inter-subnet forwarding between subnet SN1, which uses
753        a 24-bit IP prefix (written as SN1/24 in the future), and a subnet
754        sitting in the WAN is described below.  NVE2, NVE3, DGW1, and DGW2
755        are running BGP EVPN.  TS2 and TS3 do not participate in dynamic
756        routing protocols, and they only have a static route to forward the
757        traffic to the WAN.  SN1/24 is dual-homed to NVE2 and NVE3.>


From the above I see that a SN1 subnet of /24 is abbreviated as "SN1/24" and 
that this abbreviation is used from that point onwards in the document. 
Hence, I am not so convinced that the proposed errata (see below) is correct. I 
think it would be more correct to replace the the text "(written as SN1/24 in 
the future)" with "(hereafter referred to as SN1/24)"

So that would mean:
s/(written as SN1/24 in the future)/(written as SN1/24 in the future)/

Any thoughts on my above understanding?

G/
