Section Section 5.1 says:
In Section 5.1, Figure 6 - TCP IPv6 Pseudoheader +--------+--------+--------+--------+ | | + + | | + Source Address + | | + + | | + + +--------+--------+--------+--------+ | | + + | | + Destination Address + | | + + | | +--------+--------+--------+--------+ | Upper-Layer Payload Length | +--------+--------+--------+--------+ | Zero | Next Header | +--------+--------+--------+--------+
It should say:
+--------+--------+--------+--------+ | | + + | | + Source Address + | | + + | | + + +--------+--------+--------+--------+ | | + + | | + Destination Address + | | + + | | +--------+--------+--------+--------+ | Upper-Layer Payload Length | +--------+--------+--------+--------+ | Zero |Next Hdr| +--------+--------+--------+--------+
Notes:
In IPv6 pseudoheader, Zero field should be 3 bytes and Next header should be 1 byte.
But in RFC 5925, figure 6, it misleads into Zero field 2 bytes and Next header 2 bytes.
