Section 4.6.2, pg.17 says:
4.6.2. Interaction with RADIUS Client MIB Modules Clients implementing Status-Server MUST NOT increment [RFC4668] or [RFC4670] counters upon reception of Response packets to Status- | Server queries. That is, when a server fully implements Status- Server, the counters defined in [RFC4668] and [RFC4670] MUST be unaffected by the transmission or reception of packets relating to Status-Server.
It should say:
4.6.2. Interaction with RADIUS Client MIB Modules Clients implementing Status-Server MUST NOT increment [RFC4668] or [RFC4670] counters upon reception of Response packets to Status- | Server queries. That is, when a client fully implements Status- Server, the counters defined in [RFC4668] and [RFC4670] MUST be unaffected by the transmission or reception of packets relating to Status-Server.
Notes:
Rationale: Confusion between "server" and "client".
This section deals with client implementations only;
the reference to a server apparently is the result of an
oversight in copy-editing text from Section 4.6.1, 2nd para.
