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”. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: See description. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
