Dear Peter,
I changed the text as follows:
OLD:
If the requested external port is not available, the PCP server will
send a CANNOT_PROVIDE_EXTERNAL error response. If a short lifetime
error is returned, the IGD-PCP IWF MAY re-send the same request to
the PCP Server after 30 seconds. If a PCP error response is
received, the IGD-PCP IWF relays a negative message to the UPnP
Control Point with ConflictInMappingEntry as the error code.
NEW:
If the requested external port is not available, the PCP server will
send a CANNOT_PROVIDE_EXTERNAL error response:
1. If a short lifetime error is returned, the IGD-PCP IWF MAY resend
the same request to the PCP Server after 30 seconds without
relaying the error to the UPnP Control Point. The IGD-PCP IWF
MAY repeat this process until a positive answer is received or
some maximum retry limit is reached. When the maximum retry
limit is reached, the IGD-PCP IWF relays a negative message to
the UPnP Control Point with ConflictInMappingEntry as the error
code.
2. If a long lifetime error is returned, the IGD-PCP IWF relays a
negative message to the UPnP Control Point with
ConflictInMappingEntry as the error code.
Better?
Cheers,
Med
