Section 2.2.2 says:

                    Table 1: "This host on this network"

It should say:

              +----------------------+----------------------------+
              | Attribute            | Value                      |

              | Address Block        | 0.0.0.0/8                  |
              | Name                 | "This network"             |
              | RFC                  | [RFC1122], Section 3.2.1.3 |
              | Allocation Date      | September 1981             |

              | Source               | True                       |
              | Destination          | False                      |
              | Forwardable          | False                      |

              +----------------------+----------------------------+

                          Table 1: "This network"

Notes:

RFC1122 states that 0.0.0.0/32 is "this host on this network" while 0.0.0.0/8 is "this network".
