Is someone having us on ????
The suggested change will completely break interworking between systems.

It's probably a misplaced intention.

I attempted to rationalize these common parameter values many years ago for
the same reasons cited (reuse), but the WG would not have it: not even
between _draft_ versions.

As you point out, it is not an errata: it is a non-interoperable and drastic
change in code-points.  Don't worry, however, I don't think that IANA will
go changing parameter values without an full RFC demanding it, which will
never happen.

Hi Lyndon,

can you work on getting this ERRATA removed? It is wrong.

Best regards

I agree with David.  We cannot make this change.

Re: [Technical Errata Reported] RFC4666 (2518)

Hi Suyash,

I think your errata would have been a good comment when the RFCs were
initially being developed, however at this point many people have
already implemented the specifications and would have a problem with
changing the values, their implementations would no longer be compatible
with the specification.  It is not an errata in the sense of an error or
mistake in the specification, that's the way the protocols were
originally designed and currently work.  

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Lyndon

Hi,

We plan to implement both the RFCs and we were in thought, why the
parameter values were different for SUA and M3UA as the parameters
functionality happens to be same.

Re: [Technical Errata Reported] RFC4666 (2518)

I will mark this Errata as rejected. 

Suyash - as you can see there are still plenty of folks monitoring this list that can provide feedback on
any other questions/observations you may have on the SIGTRAN specifications. In general, vetting
ideas with a list like is better than starting with an errata entry (Errata should be very rare beasts).

Hi Suyash,

I think the reason was to decouple the several protocol specs
to let them evolve at different speed. Now there a several
products out and in production networks. Therefore these
numbers can't be changed anymore without breaking interoperability
with all these implementations out there.

I hope this clarifies things.
