The following errata report has been submitted for RFC9098,
"Operational Implications of IPv6 Packets with Extension Headers".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid6689

--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: Stéphane Bortzmeyer <[email-masked]>

Section: 7.2

Original Text
-------------
  If a forwarding router cannot determine consistent n-tuples for
   calculating flow hashes, data streams are more likely to end up being
   distributed unequally across ECMP and load-shared links.  This may
   lead to packet drops or reduced performance.

Corrected Text
--------------
[None]

Notes
-----
The paragraph seems to belong to 7.1 (ECMP and load blanacing) since it is not related to the subject in 7.2 (ACL and filtering). But there is a very similar paragraph in 7.1 so the best solution is probably to delete the whole paragraph.

Instructions:

This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
