The following errata report has been submitted for RFC2631,
"Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Method".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid6302

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Abdullah Talayhan <abdullahttj(_at_)gmail(_dot_)com>

Section: 2.2.1.1

Original Text
-------------
3. Set N’= L/1024


Corrected Text
--------------
3. Set N = L/1024

Notes
-----
The definition of N' is not used in the document. On line 19 of the 
algorithm, we have "If counter < (4096 * N) then go to 8.". Hence, either the 
definition on line 3 has to be N instead of N', or it should be N' instead of 
N on line 19.

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party  
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
