Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Maybe a failure in PDN address IE in the NAS packet

Hi all
I've recognised that if the Non-Access Stratum (NAS) Packet contains a PDN address (IPv6) Wireshark expect an IPv6 Prefix Length.
There is no defined prefix length field in the 3GPP standard 24.301. See 9.9.4.9.1 PDN address information element. The PDN address information element has a Length field defined. The PDN address IE contains the IPv6 address and therefore the length is already given by the first field of the PDN address IE.

Is this a failure in the Wireshark sources or have I missed something?

Thank you and best regards
James
