Hi,
I'm coming a bit late to this (sorry), but something just caught my
eye:

2.10 is somewhat incorrect on Multicast:
ff00::/8 are multicast addresses [RFC4291]. They have a 4 bits
scope
in the address field. Only addresses having the 'E' value in the
scope field are of global scope, all other values are local or
reserved. Therefore, only ffXe:: routes may be advertised
outside a
site, where X may be any value.
I'm wondering about the word "advertised" - I've never hear anyone
use that word in the context of multicast addresses. They are not
carried
in BGP (which is the typical "advertising" of routing data), and PIM
isn't exactly "advertising routes".
So maybe the last sentence should be:
Therefore, only ffXe:: multicast groups and the accompanying
routing
protocol state may appear outside a site, where X may be any value.
or something like this.
