Section 5.1 says:
The initiator-address-type and acceptor-address-type fields of the GSS-CHANNEL-BINDINGS structure MUST be set to 0.
It should say:
The initiator-address-type and acceptor-address-type fields of the GSS-CHANNEL-BINDINGS structure MUST be set to 255 (GSS_C_AF_NULLADDR).
Notes:
See RFC 2744, section 3.11, last paragraph: "[...] or omit addressing information, specifying GSS_C_AF_NULLADDR as the address-types".
Appendix A of RFC 2744 specifies that the value of GSS_C_AF_NULLADDR is 255.
