The "Packet format" section says:

        16.bit: (ar$pro) Protocol address space.  For Ethernet                         hardware, this is from the set of type                         fields ether_typ$<protocol>.

It should say:

        16.bit: (ar$pro) Protocol address space.  For Ethernet                         hardware, this is from the set of type                         fields ether_type$<protocol>.

Notes:

In original text last letter "e" is missing in "ether_type$<protocol>".

Notes:

The original text makes no sense.
--VERIFIER NOTES--
While the original text is somewhat idiomatic, it makes perfect sense. The proposed rewrite, on the other hand, doesn't.
