PDN Address and Prefix (octet 6 to n+4)

If PDN type value indicates IPv4, an IPv4 address is present in the PDN Address and Prefix from octet 6 to octet 9. Bit 8 of octet 6 represents the most significant bit of the IPv4 address and bit 1 of octet 9 the least significant bit.

If PDN type value indicates IPv6, octet 6 contains the IPv6 Prefix Length. Octets 7 through 22 contain an IPv6 Prefix and Interface Identifier. Bit 8 of octet 7 represents the most significant bit of the IPv6 Prefix and Interface Identifier and bit 1 of octet 22 the least significant bit.

If PDN type value indicates IPv4v6, octet 6 contains the IPv6 Prefix Length. Octets 7 through 22 contain an IPv6 Prefix and Interface Identifier. Bit 8 of octet 7 represents the most significant bit of the IPv6 Prefix and Interface Identifier and bit 1 of octet 22 the least significant bit. Octets 23 through 26 contain an IPv4 address. Bit 8 of octet 23 represents the most significant bit of the IPv4 address and bit 1 of octet 26 the least significant bit.

If PDN type value indicates Non-IP or Ethernet, octets from 6 to ‘n+4’ shall not be present.
