Section 4.1 says:
- In DSR, the route returned in each Route Reply that is received by
the initiator of a Route Discovery (or that is learned from the
header of overhead packets, as described in Section 8.1.4)
represents a complete path (a sequence of links) leading to the
destination node. [...]
It should say:
- In DSR, the route returned in each Route Reply that is received by
the initiator of a Route Discovery (or that is learned from the
header of overheard packets, as described in Section 8.1.4)
represents a complete path (a sequence of links) leading to the
destination node. [...]
Notes:
Text was inteded to not talk about "overhead" packets, but (promiscuously) "overheard" packets!

Section 6.5 says:
Opt Data Len
8-bit unsigned integer. Length of the option, in octets,
excluding the Option Type and Opt Data Len fields.
It should say:
Opt Data Len
8-bit unsigned integer. Length of the option, in octets,
excluding the Option Type and Opt Data Len fields. In the
basic form of this Option, this field has the value 2.
(See Section 7.4.1 for an extended version of this Option.)
Notes:
Provide specific value of the length field.

Section 8.2.1 says:
The behavior of a node processing a packet containing DSR Options header with both a DSR Source Route option and a Route Request option is unspecified.

Section 8.6.2 says:
- Set the Protocol field of the IP header to the protocol number
assigned for DSR (48).
It should say:
- Set the Protocol field of the previous header to the protocol
number assigned for DSR (48).
Notes:
The procedure specified in Section 8.6.2 is a bit misleading in its
last step; if followed literally, it will mess up the packet in the
case that there is any Hop-by-Hop Options header present after the
IP header.

Section 6.4 says:
When the Opt Data Len is greater than that required for
the fixed portion of the Route Error plus the necessary
Type-Specific Information as indicated by the Option Type
value in the option, the remaining octets are interpreted as
extensions.
It should say:
When the Opt Data Len is greater than that required for
the fixed portion of the Route Error plus the necessary
Type-Specific Information as indicated by the Error Type
value in the option, the remaining octets are interpreted as
extensions.
Notes:
As can be seen from the context, the "Type-Specific Information" is
dependent on the "Error Type" field value, not the "Option Type"
field value.

case, the value of this field is always 10.
Notes:
Provide specific length value.
