The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5496,
"The Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) Vector TLV".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=5496&eid=3668

--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: Bharat Joshi <[email-masked]>

Section: 4

Original Text
-------------
S bit:
     Bottom of Stack.  If this bit is set, then this is the last TLV in
     the stack.

Corrected Text
--------------
E-bit:
     End of Attributes.  If this bit is set, then this is the last TLV in
     the stack.

Notes
-----
RFC 5384 has defined the Join Attribute for PIM. RPF vector is one such Join attribute. RFC 5384 has defined the format for Join Attributes. RFC 5496 is not following that by calling the second bit as 'S bit' instead of 'E bit' though both bits represent the end-of-attributes TLVs.
