First centered line of figure 5-9

First centered line of figure 5-9, page 107, reads:

"Data center IPv4 Allocation: 2001:db8:cafe::/48".

It should read:

"Data center IPv6 Allocation: 2001:db8:cafe::/48".

This is inferred from both the caption "IPv6 best-fit example" and the IPv6 prefix shown.

Note from the Author or Editor:

First column, second row in Table 5-1

In the first column and second row of Table 5-1, the IPv6 prefix has only one colon preceding the prefix length of /56 instead of having two preceding colons. For example, it currently reads:

2001:db8:2112:0000:/56

But it should read:

2001:db8:2112:0000::/56

Within the graphic labeled "Figure 5-12. Sparse allocation of /56 subnets"

All the IPv6 subnets within the graphic currently have a "/52" prefix length with one preceding colon. But they should have instead a "/56" prefix length and two preceding colons. For example, the graphic currently displays the following IPv6 prefixes starting at the top of the circle:

2001:db8:2112:0:/52
2001:db8:2112:1000:/52
2001:db8:2112:2000:/52
2001:db8:2112:4000:/52
2001:db8:2112:6000:/52
2001:db8:2112:8000:/52
2001:db8:2112:9000:/52
2001:db8:2112:a000:/52
2001:db8:2112:c000:/52
2001:db8:2112:e000:/52

But these should read as follows:

2001:db8:2112:0::/56
2001:db8:2112:1000::/56
2001:db8:2112:2000::/56
2001:db8:2112:4000::/56
2001:db8:2112:6000::/56
2001:db8:2112:8000::/56
2001:db8:2112:9000::/56
2001:db8:2112:a000::/56
2001:db8:2112:c000::/56
2001:db8:2112:e000::/56

Chapter 7: The 3rd paragraph under "Assigning function and Location" (these /48s can be summarized to a /44 for their BGP announcement)

The book states
2001:db8:def0::/48
2001:db8:def1::/48
2001:db8:def2::/48
...
2001:db8:deff::/48
can be summarized as
2001:db8:def::/44 <------- ERROR

It should be
2001:db8:def0::/44

2001:db8:def::/44 is a completely different network and has the prefix 2001:db8:0de0::/44

Note from the Author or Editor:
Chapter 7: The 3rd paragraph under "Assigning function and Location" (directly beneath the sentence "These /48s can be summarized to a /44 for their BGP announcement to upstream provider(s):[103]")

The text shows:
"2001:db8:def0::/48
2001:db8:def1::/48
2001:db8:def2::/48
...
2001:db8:deff::/48

2001:db8:def::/44"

It should read:
"2001:db8:def0::/48
2001:db8:def1::/48
2001:db8:def2::/48
...
2001:db8:deff::/48

2001:db8:def0::/44"
