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)).
