UNCONFIRMED errors and comments from readers:


{37} Address Notation section;
The uncompressed IPv6 example address is shown as:

2001:DB8:0000:0000:0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329

but should be either:

2001:DB8x:0000:0000:0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329 (1)
2001:DBx8:0000:0000:0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329 (2)
2001:DxB8:0000:0000:0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329 (3)
2001:xDB8:0000:0000:0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329 (4)

for some specific value of 'x'.

The error is repeated in examples that follow.

I'm guessing that 'x' was intended to be '0' and either case (1) or (4) was intended.


(48) Second last Paragraph, Third sentence;
The sentence starting

"The eights bit is currently set to 1..."

should read

"The eighth bit is currently set to 1..."


{49} Graphic;
The graphic for "Local IPV6 address" has too many bits in the prefix.

It is "1111 1110" and should be "1111 110"


(49) Figure 3-6;
The term 'IPv6 Unicode address' should be 'IPv6 unicast address'


(55) Fouth paragraph, Last sentence;
I am confused here. The Solicited Node Multicast address is generated from the MAC address but the last sentence implies that if the NIC has more IPV6 addresses there will be more Solicited node Multicast addresses. How can this be?
