In https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-softwire-map-mib-07
I see:

    mapRuleIPv6Prefix OBJECT-TYPE
           SYNTAX     InetAddress(SIZE (0..16))
           MAX-ACCESS read-only
           STATUS     current
           DESCRIPTION
              "The IPv6 prefix defined in mapping rule which will be
               assigned to CE. The address type is given by
               mapRuleIPv6PrefixType."
           ::= { mapRuleEntry 3 }


mmmmm, when the InetAddressType is ipv6(2), then my understanding of RFC4001
is that the SIZE for the InetAddress MUST be 16. Maybe Juergen can chime in here?

Juergen (or anyone else) can you confirm if my understanding is correct?

Thanks,
Bert
