Hi,

in section 6 (and sub-sections) of draft-ietf-mip6-auth-protocol-00.txt,
you explain how an authenticator is built. The authenticator spans the Mobility
Header up to (and excluding) the Authenticator field.

As far as I understand, the MH Checksum field must be treated as zero when
calculating the authenticator because the authenticator is calculated before the
checksum. Wouldn't it be good to add a sentence on this?

Kind regards,

- Christian

Accepted. The current version has the fix for this.
