RFC 4584, "Extension to Sockets API for Mobile IPv6", July 2006

Section 6.1 says:

   This specification recommends that the IPv6 RAW sockets mechanism
   send and receive Mobility Header (MH) packets.  The behavior is
|  similar to ICMPV6 processing, where the kernel passes a copy of the
   mobility header packet to the receiving socket.  Depending on the
   implementation, the kernel may process the mobility header in
   addition to passing the mobility header to the application.  In order
   to comply with the restriction in the Advanced Sockets API for IPv6
   [1], applications should set the IPV6_CHECKSUM socket option with
   IPPROTO_MH protocol RAW Sockets.  A Mobile IPv6 implementation that
   supports the Mobile IPv6 API must implement Mobility Header API
   checksum calculations by default at the kernel for both incoming and
   outbound paths.  A Mobile IPv6 implementation must not return error
   on the IPV6_CHECKSUM socket option setting, even if the socket option
   is a NO-OP function for that implementation because it verifies the
   checksum at the kernel level.  The Mobility Header checksum procedure
   is described in the Mobile IPv6 Protocol [2] specification.  Again,
   for application portability it is recommended that the applications
   set the IPV6_CHECKSUM socket option along with the RAW sockets for
   IPPROTO_MH protocol.

It should say:

Section 4.6 says:

   IPv6 Neighbor Discovery changes are also defined in
   <netinet/icmp6.h>.

      New 'Home Agent' flag in router advertisement:  #define
      ND_RA_FLAG_HOMEAGENT   0x20  /* Home Agent flag in RA */

      New Router flag with prefix information of the home agent:
      #define  ND_OPT_PI_FLAG_ROUTER  0x20  /* Router flag in PI */
 
   As per the Mobile IPv6 specification [2], Section 7.2, a Home Agent
   MUST include at least one prefix option with the Router Address (R)
   bit set.  Advanced Socket API [1] defines data structure for prefix
   option as follows:

All instances of

IPV6 and ICMPV6

For example, in section 5:

   Legacy IPv6 applications/implementations using the Advanced Socket
   API [1] mechanisms, upon receiving Home Address destination options
   or Routing headers(Type 2), will discard the packet as per Sections
   4.2 and 4.4 of IPV6 Protocol [3] specification, respectively;
   otherwise, they should properly handle the Home Address destination
   option and the Routing Header Type 2 specified in this document.

It should say:

IPv6 and ICMPv6

For example, should say (also incorporating other corrections):

   Legacy IPv6 applications/implementations using the Advanced Socket
   API [1] mechanisms, upon receiving Home Address destination options
   or Routing headers (Type 2), will discard the packet as per Sections
   4.2 and 4.4 of the IPv6 Protocol [3] specification, respectively;

Section 5.3 says:

   Any user-level implementation or application that sends the Home
   address destination option through ancillary data objects should
   follow the order extension header defined in this document when using
   IPV6_MIPDSTOPTS socket options.
