Printed	Page 37 Address Notation section	The uncompressed IPv6 example address is shown as: 2001:DB8:0000:0000:0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329 but should be either: 2001:DB8x:0000:0000:0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329 (1) 2001:DBx8:0000:0000:0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329 (2) 2001:DxB8:0000:0000:0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329 (3) 2001:xDB8:0000:0000:0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329 (4) for some specific value of 'x'. The error is repeated in examples that follow. I'm guessing that 'x' was intended to be '0' and either case (1) or (4) was intended.	Anonymous
Printed	Page 48 Second last Paragraph, Third sentence	The sentence starting "The eights bit is currently set to 1..." should read "The eighth bit is currently set to 1..."	Anonymous
Printed	Page 49 Graphic	The graphic for "Local IPV6 address" has too many bits in the prefix. It is "1111 1110" and should be "1111 110"	Anonymous
Printed	Page 49 Figure 3-6	The term 'IPv6 Unicode address' should be 'IPv6 unicast address'	Anonymous
Printed	Page 49 figure 3-6	the local IPv6 address shown as 1111 1110 should be 1111 1100 to translate to the Hex address prefix of FC00. The FE binary value was copied from the line above it appears.	Anonymous
Printed	Page 55 Fouth paragraph, Last sentence	I am confused here. The Solicited Node Multicast address is generated from the MAC address but the last sentence implies that if the NIC has more IPV6 addresses there will be more Solicited node Multicast addresses. How can this be?	Anonymous
