Known issues

CMTS and CM MIC have the wrong value when calculated on a big endian CPU. Using the MIC values and a big endian CPU should be avoided in production systems.

Quoting the hex strings will result in a crash. Do not use something similar to "0xABCD".

Following TLVs can only be decoded but not encoded: SNMPv1v2cTransportAddress, SNMPv1v2cTransportAddressMask.
