However, according to RFC2119 the word MUST indicates that it is a requirement of the specification and therefore implies that the receiver will need to check the value. If it MUST be zero and is not, then that would indicate a protocol error.

I guess that is correct because one may not use CRC and therefore may not want to set them to 0. Wouldn't it be better if section 2.1 was more specific and mentioned when they must be 0 if there is a CRC. Also, I noticed at the UNH plug fest that at least one person thought "should" meant "must". Therefore, I don't think it should say "should" ... I think it should not mention the 0'ness unless there is a CRC present. Also, transmission. Padding bytes, when presents in a segment covered by a CRC, have to be set to 0 and are included in the CRC. should say "when present in". Eddy_Quicksall@iVivity.com
