Sure.

Indeed. Great catch and many thanks.

We had thought about this, and received this comment before also, but since this is largely a fix and update to RFC 8287, we want to remain consistent to the format used there.

Thanks for this suggestion. To me, it seems a bit overkill to explain the the size of an IPv4 is 4 octets, and the size of an IPv6 is 16 octets, etc. The fact that we are including the table seems the right middle-ground for readability, thoroughness, and detailed-orientedness.

But thanks for the suggestion.

Best,

Carlos.
