Section 3.18 says:

3.18. Swap Server

   This specifies the IP address of the client's swap server.

   The code for this option is 16 and its length is 4.

    Code   Len    Swap Server Address
   +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
   |  16 |  n  |  a1 |  a2 |  a3 |  a4 |
   +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+

It should say:

3.18. Swap Server

   This specifies the IP address of the client's swap server.

   The code for this option is 16 and its length is 4.

    Code   Len    Swap Server Address
   +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
   |  16 |  4  |  a1 |  a2 |  a3 |  a4 |
   +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+

Notes:

The length is static, not dynamic. The length in the diagram should be 4, not n.
