6th in box |
Paragraph 2 in the same box asserts we are base 10 because we use 10 'digits,' which appear to be 10 unique 'symbols' or 'characters.'
Paragraph 6 switches the sense of 'digit as symbol' by using 'digits' to mean 'places,' each of which may hold one of 85 'symbols.'
e.g., I suspect 84^20 < 2^128 <= 85^20?
In the language of the inset, I could write:
"2^128 could be represented by 20 digits containing one of 85 unique digits."
AND while I've got you on the email... great writers though you clearly are, you probably want to use 'founder' everywhere you've used 'flounder.' To 'flounder' is to walk around in shallow surf with a pointy stick, but to 'founder' is to sink and be in danger of drowning.

1st sentence |
"When multicast groupings organizations, or the whole Internet, routers need to be involved." makes no sense.
"When multicast groups SPAN organizations, ..." ?

7th paragraph |
It took me half-way through filing this errata report before I realized what this sentence was trying to say:
"""
Without an ISATAP router, ..., but using ... rather than ..., allowing ....
"""
This sentence can be made much clearer with one simple change:
"but using link-local ISATAP addresses" -> "instead using link-local ISATAP addresses"
An alternate approach that might work:
", allowing ..." -> ". This allows ..."
It's possible that using a different font style for IPv6 addresses (from what is currently being used in the product) would also help; that paragraph is rather like a wall of text, even though it only has three sentences.
