    REFERENCE
        "RFC 6830, Section 14.2 and
         LISP Canonical Address Format (LCAF), Work in Progress,
         March 2013."
    SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE (5..39))

    REFERENCE
        "RFC 6830, Section 14.2 and
         LISP Canonical Address Format (LCAF), Work in Progress,
         March 2013."
    SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE (0..39))

Notes
-----
The minimum octet string length of 5 specified for the LispAddressType is incorrect. The smallest non-empty address is an IPv4 address that is not using the LCAF format to include an instance ID. This requires 8 octets (see example 1 above keeping in mind that the AFI requires 2 octets). However, in many places in the MIB definition the LispAddressType is used as the type for attributes where “unspecified” is a valid return. For example in lispEidRegistrationLastRegisterSender, an EID prefix that is configured on a Map-Server may not have any active registrations. To encode the absence of an address the minimum length of zero should be allowed.
