On the IPv6 comment, I changed the notion of "IP options" in a couple of places to "IPv4 options or IPv6 extension headers" which I think accomplishes the right thing.
Hi Wes,

I just noted one typo on page 73:

OLD TEXT:

         fourth check the SYN bit

            This step should be reached only if the ACK is ok, or there
            is no ACK, and it the segment did not contain a RST.


NEW TEXT:

         fourth check the SYN bit

            This step should be reached only if the ACK is ok, or there
            is no ACK, and if the segment did not contain a RST.
                           ^^

Best regards
Michael
