hello,

is there a typo in the Connection-less Protocol section at
https://www.wireguard.com/protocol/

    After receiving a packet, if the receiver was the original
initiator of the handshake and if the current session key is
REKEY_AFTER_TIME - KEEPALIVE_TIMEOUT - REKEY_TIMEOUT ms old, we
initiate a new handshake.

shouldn't that be REJECT_AFTER_TIME - KEEPALIVE_TIMEOUT -
REKEY_TIMEOUT? (cf: section 6.2 of the technical whitepaper)

thanks
-taj
