Type: Technical
Reported by: Alfred Hoenes <ah@TR-Sys.de>

Section: 4.6.2, pg.17

Original Text
-------------
4.6.2.  Interaction with RADIUS Client MIB Modules



   Clients implementing Status-Server MUST NOT increment [RFC4668] or

   [RFC4670] counters upon reception of Response packets to Status-

|  Server queries.  That is, when a server fully implements Status-

   Server, the counters defined in [RFC4668] and [RFC4670] MUST be

   unaffected by the transmission or reception of packets relating to

   Status-Server.



Corrected Text

4.6.2.  Interaction with RADIUS Client MIB Modules



   Clients implementing Status-Server MUST NOT increment [RFC4668] or

   [RFC4670] counters upon reception of Response packets to Status-

|  Server queries.  That is, when a client fully implements Status-

   Server, the counters defined in [RFC4668] and [RFC4670] MUST be

   unaffected by the transmission or reception of packets relating to

   Status-Server.



Notes
-----
Rationale: Confusion between "server" and "client".

  This section deals with client implementations only;

  the reference to a server apparently is the result of an

  oversight in copy-editing text from Section 4.6.1, 2nd para.
