Section 8.1 says:
Retransmissions of Link State Update packets are ALWAYS sent directly to the neighbor. On multi-access networks, this means that retransmissions should be sent to the neighbor's IP address.
It should say:
Retransmissions of Link State Update packets and Link State Update packets sent in response to Link State Request packets are ALWAYS sent directly to the neighbor. On multi-access networks, this means that retransmissions should be sent to the neighbor's IP address.
Notes:
One more place requiring clarification with respect to the Link State Update packets sent in response to Link State Request packets.
