3rd paragraph

Sentence reads:

"The Local (L) flag is set to 1 to indicate that the prefix is locally assigned. The L flag set to 0 is not defined in RFC-3879."

RFC-3879 is "Deprecating Site Local Addresses". RFC-4193 is "Unique Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses". So the sentence should actually read as follows:

"The Local (L) flag is set to 1 to indicate that the prefix is locally assigned. The L flag set to 0 is not defined in RFC-4193."

last paragraph

P.234.
last paragraph reads: The following is an example display... with an advertising default router that is advertising the 2001:.... and fd5e:... prefixes.
The picture, however, shows a No in the publish (=advertised) column. I suspect that some of the 2001:
and fd5e: entries in the table/picture should show "yes" in the publish column.

The picture of Host A

P.297 The picture of Host A has a 2001: address; it should read 2002: being 6to4 and is stated as such in the text above the picture.
