                        by Routers RT3 and RT4.

              Table 6: Destinations advertised into Area 1
                        by Routers RT3 and RT4.

Notes:

The distance from RT4 to N8 should be changed from 18 to 25. Unless there is a virtual link between RT7 and RT10, the shortest path from RT4 to N8 is 25, not 18. Although a virtual link from RT7 and RT10 is discussed in the last paragraph of Section 3.4, it is not assume part of the network design. Moreover, this change is needed to make the N9-N11,H1 row consistent with the N8 row, as each entry in the N9-N11,H1 row must be 11 greater than the same-column entry in the N8 row.

Notes:

From RT3 and RT4 perspective the Ia is the nearest interface while Ib is at the remote side of the link connecting RT6 to RT10.

Section 11.3 says:

would be caused by the addition of this virtual link are shown
in Table 14.


It should say:

N/A

Notes:

But Table 14 is exiled in another section, section 12, where it has nothing to do. I assume some processor tried to avoid splitting the table and displaced it too far.

Section Appendix E says:

In the paragraph that starts with: "The above algorithm assumes that all"

                                 The algorithm also assumes that no
    network exists having an address equal to another network's
    broadcast address.

It should say:

                                 The algorithm also assumes that if
    one of the conflicting networks is of IP host mask, its LSA
    origination is suppressed. The choice of the suppressing algorithm
    again is a local decision. However, the suppressed LSA MUST be
    originated if the conflicting network becomes withdrawn.

Notes:

The current algorithm will derive an unchanged ID
if one of the conflicting networks is of IP host mask.
This will cause problems that the algorithm try to solve.

On the other hand, the perfect algorithm for
LSID collision resolution does not exist in
that a flat address space cannot accommodate
all of the overlaid supernet/subnet IDs.
For example,
route1 - 10.0.0.0/32
route2 - 10.0.0.1/32
route3 - 10.0.0.0/31
There is no way to originate 3 LSAs with distinct LSIDs.

Thus though in majority cases, LSID collision even
with host route is resolvable, the suppressing
mechanism is still inevitable.

This text is a change that should be taken through the working group process, as it seems to modify functionality.

Notes:

The distance from RT4 to N9-N11,H1 should be changed from 36 to 29 to be consistent with the row above that, which shows the distance from RT3 to N8 and RT4 to N8 as the same value, 18. The length 18 path from RT3 to N8 is RT3-RT6-RT10-N8, while the length 18 path from RT4 to N8 is RT4-RT5-RT7-RT10-N8. The summarized N9-N11,H1 network is a distance 11 beyond that, or 29 in both cases. The length 29 path from RT3 to N9-N11,H1 is RT3-RT6-RT10-RT11-(N9-N11,H1), and the length 29 path from RT4 to N9-N11,H1 is RT4-RT5-RT7-RT10-RT11-(N9-N11,H1).

    Cost
        The link state cost of the path to the destination.  For all
        paths except type 2 external paths this describes the entire

        the cost of the portion of the path internal to the AS.

'Type 2 cost' is listed in the subsequent 'field' description for section 11 (The Routing Table Structure).

Section 11 says:

Multiple LSAs may

It should say:

Multiple LSAs may
reference the same destination, however a tie-breaking scheme always
reduces the choice to a single LSA. 

Notes:

I think should add the "same" to describe it more clearly.
--VERIFIER NOTES--
Section 11 is written in terms of "the destination", and this is clearly a single destination, thus there should be no confusion with the original text.
