Julian,
I think a MUST is
too strong here. Also, the text "unless explicitly required by a general or a
key-specific negotiation rule" may not cover the case of receiving a
Text/Login R___ with F/T=0 and C=0 when one has no keys to send. I don't think
there is any explicit rule in the draft requiring one to send with no data
segment in that case. It is just implict that one must respond with such a PDU
if the negotiation is to finish. Therefore, the following text would be
better:
A target or
initiator SHOULD NOT use a Text/Login Response or Text/
Login Request with no
data segment (DataSegmentLength 0) unless
responding to a Text/Login Request
or Text/Login Response, respectively,
with the F/T bit set to 0 while the
node has no keys to send or with the C bit
set to 1.
(This is the same as
the text at the bottom except T bit is corrected to F/T to cover Text PDUs.)
