Question on InetAddressType



In the MPLS MIB arena, a question is coming up on a
statement in a MODULE0-COMPLIANCE aka:

    OBJECT mplsFTNAddrType
    SYNTAX       InetAddressType { ipv4(1), ipv6(2) }
    DESCRIPTION
        "An implementation is only required to support IPv4
         and IPv6 addresses."

The question now is: what does that mean for a box that only
supports IPv4 and not (yet) IPv6. One could write multiple
compliance statements, but that seems a bit too much does it not.

Do we consider this acceptable:

    OBJECT mplsFTNAddrType
    SYNTAX       InetAddressType { ipv4(1), ipv6(2) }
    DESCRIPTION
        "An implementation is only required to support IPv4
         and/or IPv6 addresses. An implementation only needs to
         support the addresses it actually supports on the box."

Thanks,
Bert
