Re: FCIP: Comment 120

[Ralph Weber <ralphoweber@compuserve.com>]

David,

The "one" got lost in the proposed change and I got lost over how the
sentence was supposed to end. Checkout the following:

Change:

  The FCIP Entity is the connection interface point for the IP Network
  and is the owner of the IP Address and Well Known Port used to form
  TCP Connections.

to:

  The FCIP Entity is the connection interface point for the IP Network
  and is the sole owner of at least one TCP port/IP Address combination
  used to form TCP Connections. The TCP port may be the FCIP well known
  port at a given IP Address.

Thanks.

.Ralph
