Section 2.7 says:

   Routers must not forward any multicast packets beyond of the scope
   indicated by the scop field in the destination multicast address.

It should say:

   Routers must not forward any multicast packets beyond the scope
   indicated by the scope field in the destination multicast address.

Notes:

Typo: scop --> scope; extraneous "of"

-- RATIONALE FOR REJECTION --

This isn't a typo. The field is named "scop". See Section 2.7:

scop is a 4-bit multicast scope value used to limit the scope of
the multicast group.

Thanks to Bob Hinden for pointing this out.

This report was incorrectly marked "Verified" from 2007-11-01 to 2008-12-03.

[There is an extraneous "of", which has been listed in a separate report: Errata ID 1627.]
