Section 7.2 says:
7.2. VPC Case When configured for a VPC cell relay service, both PEs SHOULD act as a VP cross-connect in accordance with the OAM procedures defined in [I.610]. The PEs SHOULD be able to process and pass the following OAM cells transparently according to [I.610]: - F4 AIS (segment and end-to-end) - F4 RDI (segment and end-to-end) - F4 loopback (segment and end-to-end)
It should say:

Notes:
As per [I.610] all OAM cells must be transferred transparently , RFC 4717 does not mentioned the F4 CC OAM cell .

(10b) The T bit explanation (in the lower half of page 27) contains misleading and inappropriate wording related to Figure 4. Figure 4 generally applies for both the proper AAL5 CPCS-SDU payload or the case of an ATM OAM cell payload. Furthermore, it should be noted that Section 8.1 (which contains and explains Figure 4) specifies the Flags field as 'reserved, should be set to 0'. This is incompatible with the subsequent text that requires the T bit to be set to 1 for an OAM cell. Therefore, to avoid confusion, the clause referencing to Figure 4 should better be deleted from the T bit explanation. Hence, the text, Bit (T) of the control word indicates whether the packet contains an ATM admin cell or an AAL5 payload. If T = 1, the packet | contains an ATM admin cell, encapsulated according to the N-to- | one cell relay encapsulation, Figure 4. If not set, the PDU contains an AAL5 payload. The ability to transport an ATM cell in the AAL5 SDU mode is intended to provide a means of enabling administrative functionality over the AAL5 VCC (though it does not endeavor to preserve user-cell and admin-cell arrival/transport ordering). should say: Bit (T) of the control word indicates whether the packet contains an ATM admin cell or an AAL5 payload. If T = 1, the packet | contains an ATM admin cell. If T = 0, the PDU contains an AAL5 payload.

(12) Section 11.2.1 -- internal mis-ref. The 3rd bullet in Section 11.2.1, near the bottom of page 30, says: - The E and C bits of the fragment shall be set as defined in | section 9. ^ It should say: - The E and C bits of the fragment shall be set as defined in | section 11.1. ^^^^ Rationale: As explained above for item (11a), the specification of these bits in Section 11.1 is contrary to their (hidden) use in Sections 8 and 9. ^ (14) Section 12 -- internal mis-refs The last paragraph of Section 12 (on page 32) says: In both the ATM-to-PSN and PSN-to-ATM directions, the method used to transfer the CLP and EFCI information of the individual cells into the ATM-specific field, or flags, of the PW packet is described in | detail in sections 6 through 9 for each encapsulation mode. ^ ^ It should say: In both the ATM-to-PSN and PSN-to-ATM directions, the method used to transfer the CLP and EFCI information of the individual cells into the ATM-specific field, or flags, of the PW packet is described in | detail in sections 8 through 11 for each encapsulation mode. ^ ^^
