Section 4 says:
This prefix is structured as follows: +-------------------------------+ | origin as (4 octets) | +-------------------------------+ | route target (8 octets) | + + | | +-------------------------------+
It should say:
This prefix is structured as follows: +-------------------------------+ | origin as (4 octets) | +-------------------------------+ | route target (0-8 octets) | + + | | +-------------------------------+
Notes:
The text defines route target as prefix however figure in section 4 does not reflect this correctly. This is editorial change, but apparently causing a lot of confusion in the community.
