>Number: 121585 >Category: docs >Synopsis: Wrong multicast specification >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-doc >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: doc-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Tue Mar 11 00:00:06 UTC 2008 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Crist Clark >Release: N/A >Organization: >Environment: Live webpage with problem: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html >Description: 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”. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: See description. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
