    DESCRIPTION
        "This MIB module defines textual conventions for
         representing Internet addresses. An Internet
         address can be an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address
         or a DNS domain name. This module also defines
         textual conventions for Internet port numbers,
         autonomous system numbers and the length of an
         Internet address prefix."

         introduces several new textual conventions:

InetAddressType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION
        "A value that represents a type of Internet address.
         unknown(0)  An unknown address type. This value MUST
                     be used if the value of the corresponding
                     InetAddress object is a zero-length string.
                     It may also be used to indicate an IP address
                     which is not in one of the formats defined
                     below.

         ipv4(1)     An IPv4 address as defined by the
                     InetAddressIPv4 textual convention.

         ipv6(2)     A global IPv6 address as defined by the
                     InetAddressIPv6 textual convention.

         ipv4z(3)    A non-global IPv4 address including a zone
                     index as defined by the InetAddressIPv4z
                     textual convention.

         ipv6z(4)    A non-global IPv6 address including a zone
                     index as defined by the InetAddressIPv6z
                     textual convention.

         dns(16)     A DNS domain name as defined by the
                     InetAddressDNS textual convention.

         Each definition of a concrete InetAddressType value must be
         accompanied by a definition of a textual convention for use
         with that InetAddressType.

         To support future extensions, the InetAddressType textual
         convention SHOULD NOT be sub-typed in object type definitions.
         It MAY be sub-typed in compliance statements in order to
         require only a subset of these address types for a compliant
         implementation.

         Implementations must ensure that InetAddressType objects





         and any dependent objects (e.g. InetAddress objects) are
         consistent.  An inconsistentValue error must be generated
         if an attempt to change an InetAddressType object would,
         for example, lead to an undefined InetAddress value.  In
         particular, InetAddressType/InetAddress pairs must be
         changed together if the address type changes (e.g. from
         ipv6(2) to ipv4(1))."

InetAddress ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION
        "Denotes a generic Internet address.

         An InetAddress value is always interpreted within the context
         of an InetAddressType value. Every usage of the InetAddress
         textual convention is required to specify the InetAddressType
         object which provides the context.  It is suggested that the
         InetAddressType object is logically registered before the
         object(s) which use the InetAddress textual convention if
         they appear in the same logical row.

         The value of an InetAddress object must always be
         consistent with the value of the associated InetAddressType
         object. Attempts to set an InetAddress object to a value
         which is inconsistent with the associated InetAddressType
         must fail with an inconsistentValue error.

         When this textual convention is used as the syntax of an
         index object, there may be issues with the limit of 128
         sub-identifiers specified in SMIv2, STD 58. In this case,
         the object definition MUST include a 'SIZE' clause to
         limit the number of potential instance sub-identifiers."

            1-4     IPv4 address     network-byte order

         The corresponding InetAddressType value is ipv4(1).

         This textual convention SHOULD NOT be used directly in object
         definitions since it restricts addresses to a specific format.
         However, if it is used, it MAY be used either on its own or in
         conjunction with InetAddressType as a pair."

InetAddressIPv4z ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    DISPLAY-HINT "1d.1d.1d.1d%4d"
    STATUS       current
    DESCRIPTION
        "Represents a non-global IPv4 network address together

            1-4     IPv4 address     network-byte order
            5-8     zone index       network-byte order

         The corresponding InetAddressType value is ipv4z(3).

         The zone index (bytes 5-8) is used to disambiguate identical
         address values on nodes which have interfaces attached to
         different zones of the same scope. The zone index may contain
         the special value 0 which refers to the default zone for each
         scope.

         This textual convention SHOULD NOT be used directly in object





         definitions since it restricts addresses to a specific format.

         InetAddressDNS values must fully describe how (and when) such

InetAddressPrefixLength ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION
        "Denotes the length of a generic Internet network address
         prefix. A value of n corresponds to an IP address mask
         which has n contiguous 1-bits from the most significant
         bit (MSB) and all other bits set to 0.

         An InetAddressPrefixLength value is always interpreted within
         the context of an InetAddressType value. Every usage of the
         InetAddressPrefixLength textual convention is required to
         specify the InetAddressType object which provides the
         context.  It is suggested that the InetAddressType object is
         logically registered before the object(s) which use the
         InetAddressPrefixLength textual convention if they appear in
         the same logical row.

         InetAddressPrefixLength values that are larger than
         the maximum length of an IP address for a specific
         InetAddressType are treated as the maximum significant
         value applicable for the InetAddressType. The maximum
         significant value is 32 for the InetAddressType
         'ipv4(1)' and 'ipv4z(3)' and 128 for the InetAddressType
         'ipv6(2)' and 'ipv6z(4)'. The maximum significant value
         for the InetAddressType 'dns(16)' is 0.

         The value zero is object-specific and must be defined as
         part of the description of any object which uses this
         syntax. Examples of the usage of zero might include
         situations where the Internet network address prefix
         is unknown or does not apply."

InetPortNumber ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION
        "Represents a 16 bit port number of an Internet transport
         layer protocol. Port numbers are assigned by IANA. A
         current list of all assignments is available from
         <http://www.iana.org/>.

         The value zero is object-specific and must be defined as
         part of the description of any object which uses this
         syntax. Examples of the usage of zero might include
         situations where a port number is unknown, or when the
         value zero is used as a wildcard in a filter."

InetAutonomousSystemNumber ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION
        "Represents an autonomous system number which identifies an
         Autonomous System (AS). An AS is a set of routers under a
         single technical administration, using an interior gateway
         protocol and common metrics to route packets within the AS,
         and using an exterior gateway protocol to route packets to
         other ASs'. IANA maintains the AS number space and has
         delegated large parts to the regional registries.

         Autonomous system numbers are currently limited to 16 bits
         (0..65535). There is however work in progress to enlarge the
         autonomous system number space to 32 bits. This textual
         convention therefore uses an Unsigned32 value without a
         range restriction in order to support a larger autonomous
         system number space."
