--------------------------------------
Status: Verified
Type: Technical

Reported by: Thomas Belling <[email-masked]>
Date Reported: 2015-04-27
Verified by: Ben Campbell (IESG)

Section: 4.3.1

Original Text
-------------
   The encoder SHOULD follow a received codec mode request, but MAY
   change to a lower-numbered mode if it so chooses, for example, to
   control congestion.

Corrected Text
--------------
   The encoder MUST follow a received codec mode request as soon as
   possible. It SHOULD use the requested mode, but MAY change to a
   lower-numbered mode if it so chooses, for example, to
   control congestion. However, the encoder MUST NOT use a
   higher-numbered mode than the received codec mode request.

Notes
-----
This seems to be the intention of the existing text, but is not explicitly stated. It is essential for the end-to-end mode control and interoperability with 3GPP CS networks that a peer does not send higher modes than requested.

This erratum has been discussed and endorsed by the 3GPP SA4 group before submission to IETF.
