Re: [IPFIX] [Technical Errata Reported] RFC5655 (4306)

[-RFC Editor]

I checked the figure and agree with Wayne: the byte should be 0x16 
because there's only one padding octet, not three.

I suspect this checksum was copy-pasted from a prior instance in the example, where there were three pad bytes added to the data record for #259 (0x103).    In this instance, there is only one pad byte at #255, hence the offset here should be two less (22 or 0x16 and not 24 or 0x18):
