3/3

| |________________| | timer expires | | IGMPv1 query | ________________ | received | | | | (set timer) | | | | | | | | -----| IGMPv1 || |---- | |________________| | | | | IGMPv1 query received | | (reset timer) | ---------------------------

Notes:

Resetting timer is obviously different than setting timer.--VERIFIER NOTES--I am rejecting this Erratum mainly because RFC 2236 has been obsoleted by RFC 3376, but also because I don't agree that the change is needed. The original textcovers the two operations adequately.
