Since the book was released in 2003, most of the RFC's the author mentions are now obsolete and have been replaced by newer RFC's. For instance on this page RFC3377 has been replaced with RFC4510. RFC4510 also replaces the following RFC's: RFC2251, RFC2252, RFC2253, RFC2254, RFC2255, RFC2256, RFC2829, RFC2830, RFC3377, RFC3771 and should be updated in the book to reflect these changes and avoid confusion for the reader. |
