Description Crist Clark 2008-03-11 00:00:06 UTC 
In Table 2-29, "Reserved IPv6 addresses," is confusing. It has the following,

	ff:: 	8 bits 	multicast

Which seems to indicate that 00ff:: is multicast. It is not. That should of
course read,

	ff00:: 	8 bits 	multicast

The next line is also confusing,

	001 (base 2) 	3 bits 	global unicast 	All global unicast addresses are assigned from this pool. The first 3 bits are 001.

It would probably be more clear and consistent with other entries to change that to,

	2000::-3fff:: 	3 bits 	global unicast 	All global unicast addresses are assigned from this pool. The first 3 bits are 001.

Fix: 

See description.
