Exercise #1

The example states that the first bit is a 0 despite having a high voltage, then flips to 1 with a low voltage but why would it stay with a 1 when the voltage changes to a high?

If a high voltage gives you a 0 in this example and a low voltage gives you a 1, then the rest of the example should follow suit!
hence the third, fourth and fifth bits should be 0's, etc.....

Otherwise I do not understand how the second and third bit can remain the same when the polarity is inverted!

In the box RELAX


In the RELAX box, the network address (192.168.100.1) is not really within the same network (192.168.0.0/16) as the node with ip (192.168.0.1)

exercise


In the exercise, the addresses (192.168.100.1) and (204.62.201.12) are routable, like (10.52.1.18) with (172.17.0.3), they are in different subnets, because in the correction it is said that they are not ?

2nd table, 7th row

As per previous errata, the "Packet Destination IP" column of the second table on page 274 was fixed to reflect the same table on the previous page. However, the answer for that row was not updated. It reads "192.168.1.2", and the correct answer for destination "192.168.6.176" is "192.168.3.1".
