Typo, yes, sorry.
Well, in desperation :-), I dug out my old dog-eared copy of RFC1332
dated May92. In the description of the IP-Address option (3) it says:
The four octet IP-Address is the desired local address of the
sender of a Configure-Request. If all four octets are set to
zero, it indicates a request that the peer provide the IP-Address
information.
Although my copy of 1332 is probably out of date, it seems to me
to favor the interpretation that the PM "announces" its own IP addr
in its conf req. Except for the interpretation of the PM's conf req and
the remote's ack of it, I think we're pretty much on the same page.
What do you think?
