* Section 6.1.

   Association Source: 4 or 16 bytes - A valid IPv4 or IPv6 address that
   provides scoping for the Association ID.  See Section 6.1.3 for
   details.

If I understand correctly, the length of this field is not really 4 or 16 bytes
but rather fully dependent on the ASSOCIATION Object-Type. i.e. you cannot have
a 16 byte address here if the Object_Type is 1. If so, it would be good to
state this dependence explicitly. Suggest something like

  Association Source: Contains a valid IPv4 address (4 bytes) if  the
  ASSOCIATION Object-Type is 1 or a valid IPv6 address (16 bytes) if  the
  ASSOCIATION Object-Type is 2. It provides scoping for the Association ID. 
  See Section 6.1.3 for details.
