The following errata report has been submitted for RFC3736,

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Ralph Droms <[email-masked]>

Section: 5.2

Original Text
-------------
   Client message: sent by a DHCP relay agent in a Relay-forward message
                   to carry the client message to a server (section 20)

   Server message: sent by a DHCP server in a Relay-reply message to
                   carry a response message to the relay agent (section
                   20)

Corrected Text
--------------
   Relay Message: sent by a DHCP relay agent in a Relay-forward
                  message to carry the client message to a server or
                  sent by a DHCP server in a Relay-reply message to
                  carry a response message to the relay agent (section
                  20)

Notes
-----
The correct name for the option carries in the Relay-forward message is "Relay Message".  That potion is shared by both Relay-forward and Relay-reply messages to carry a DHCPv6 message from or to (respectively) a DHCPv6 client.

I've marked this errata as "technical" because it might have an impact on implementations.
