the RTS duration field is described as being
Duration in RTS: 3xSIFS+ACK+Frame time.

On page 80 there is a comparison of the RTS and CTS times which states that:
Duration in RTS: CTS+3xSIFS+ACK+Frame time
This one is correct - the one on page 78 misses out the CTS time and so is too short by CTS duration.

1st Paragraph

The use of MS-CHAP is mentioned by the EAP method LEAP (a Cisco proprietary EAP method that was deprecated long ago). The book states that is was MS-CHAP version 1 was used for mutual authentication by the the server-client; but in doing a search on the WWW, others suggest that it is MS-CHAP version 2 was used instead because it was more robust.

Did Cisco make the change from v1 to v2 during LEAP's life (which would mean that the book's release date occurred before the change)? Or is this an error?
