Section 4.12 says:
Abstract Data Type: unsigned32
It should say:
Abstract Data Type: unsigned8
Notes:
Section 4.12 describes an 8-bit forwardingStatus field, and xrefs CCO-NF9FMT where FORWARDING STATUS has a length of 1 (ie, 8 bits).
IANA's IPFIX registry lists the Abstract Data Type for forwardingStatus as "unsigned8".
The "unsigned32" Abstract Data Type is out of sync with these other documents.
