First paragraph under Solicited-Node Address, 5th line |
The text reads, "However, instead of using the local-link scope all-nodes multicast address ...". I believe the phrase "local-link" got inverted, and should instead read "However, instead of using the link-local scope all-nodes multicast address ...".

Last two lines on the page |
The last two lines read, "The next nibble is for the usage type. There are 16 possible usage types. Contoso uses 4 usage types (backbone, edge, data center, and desktop) and reserves the other 15 for future use." Doing the math, shouldn't this read "... reserves the other 12 for future use." instead?

Figure 7-5 |
Comparing the MLD and MLDv2 Multicast Listener Query, they seem to have the same structure for the first 24 bytes, and the Type/Code fields contain the same data. However, the MLDv2 structure then includes extra fields. How does the receiving host/router know which type of query this is, i.e. when it's reached the end of the message?

Figure 8-3 |
The top-right step of the flow-chart says:
"Do not initialize stat" (inside the box)
"eless address." (outside the box)
"stat" and "eless" should be combined into "stateless".
The box should be bigger to include all the text.

Penultimate paragraph |
This paragraph says: "Additionally, an IPv6/IPv4 host typically has one or more tunnel interfaces that could have link-local, global, and unique local addresses assigned."
This is redundant, because the previous paragraph (before the bullet points) already says:
"typical IPv6 hosts can have multiple addresses assigned to [..] tunneling interfaces"
I recommend deleting the penultimate paragraph.

Final paragraph |
It currently says:
"The next-hop address is set to the destination address of 2001:db8:21d0:3f48:dd48:ab34:d07c:3914 (the destination)"
This doesn't match the address from the previous sentence, and "the destination" is repeated.
It should say:
"The next-hop address is set to the destination address of 2001:db8:21d0:3f48:2aa:ff:fe90:4d3c"
