3.2.4. Internet Address Prefix Table

This table provides information about the prefixes this entity is using, including their lifetimes. This table provides a convenient place to which other tables that make use of prefixes, such as the ipAddressTable, may point. By including this table, the MIB can supply the prefix information for all addresses, yet minimize the amount of duplication required in storing and accessing this data. This arrangement also clarifies the relationship between addresses that have the same prefix.

This table is required for IPv6 entities.
