Subject: possible error in book SCTP (A reference guide)

Hello mailing list participants,

I have sent at the beginning of the week e-mail with similar content
to Mr. Stewart
directly but so far did not get answer, so maybe you can explain as I assume
several of you have read this book:

Please, take a look at page 112, step 8
in "Colliding Initilization Scenario 2". It is written there, among
other things:
..After comparing the tags in the cookie (VT_local = A, and
VT_peer=TT_local=TT_peer=0)
..".
In the step 4, where corresponding INIT-ACK is sent, following is written:
"....According  to procedure in Section 4.7.2.1, it builds a State cookie
containing  VT_local = A, and VT_peer= Z', TT_local = A,  TT_peer = 0 ..."

So, if the nromal procedure is followed (and step 6 states exactly this),
the value should be simply copied to COOKIE-ECHO and the values
should be, contrary to what is printed in the book:
VT_local = A, VT_peer = Z',  TT_local = A, TT_peer = 0.

Could you, please, comment on this?

With Best Regards
