In your previous mail you wrote:

   The RFC 3315 (DHCPv6) is ambiguous about the real meaning of MRC (in 14.):
    - the name means "Maximum retransmission count"
                              ^^
   
    - the text says:
   
      MRC specifies an upper bound on the number of times a client may
      retransmit a message.  Unless MRC is zero, the message exchange fails
      once the client has transmitted the message MRC times.
                          ^^^^^^^^^^^
   
   so does the MRC include the initial transmission?

=> it seems it is the case, i.e., the name is bad and should be MTC
(and [M]RT should be [M]TT, etc).

   A good case for an erratum...
   
=> so PLEASE fix this ASAP, for instance before the next year?

Thanks
