This paper presents the formal analysis of the feature negotiation and connection management procedures of the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP). Using state space analysis we discover an error in the DCCP specification, that result in both ends of the connection having different agreed feature values. The error occurs when the client ignores an unexpected Response packet in the OPEN state that carries a valid Confirm option. This provides an evidence that the connection management procedure and feature negotiation procedures interact. We also propose solutions to rectify the problem.
