+/// @brief Class that represents IAPREFIX option in DHCPv6
+///
+/// It is based on a similar class that handles addresses. There are major
+/// differences, though. The fields are in different order. There is also
+/// additional prefix length field.
+///
+/// It should be noted that to get a full prefix (2 values: base prefix, and
+/// a prefix length) 2 methods are used: getAddress() and getLength(). Although
+/// using getAddress() to obtain base prefix is somewhat counter-intuitive at
+/// first, it becomes obvious when one realizes that an address is a special
+/// case of a prefix with /128. It makes everyone's life much easier, because
+/// the base prefix doubles as a regular address in many cases, e.g. when
+/// searching for a lease.
+///
+/// When searching for a prefix in the database or simply comparing two prefixes
+/// for equality, it is important that only the significant parts of the
+/// prefixes are compared. It is possible that the client or a server sends a
+/// prefix which has non-significant bits (beyond prefix length) set. The
+/// server or client receiving such a prefix should be liberal and not discard
+/// this prefix. It should rather ignore the non-significant bits. Therefore
+/// the unpack() function, which parses the prefix from the wire, always sets
+/// the non-significant bits to 0 so as two prefixes received on the wire can
+/// be compared without additional processing.
+///
+/// @todo Currently, the constructor which creates the option from the textual
+/// format doesn't set non-significant bits to 0. This is because it is assumed
+/// that the prefixes from the string are created locally (not received over the
+/// wire) and should be validated before the option is created. If we wanted
+/// to set non-significant bits to 0 when the prefix is created from the textual
+/// format it would have some performance implications, because the option would
+/// need to be turned into wire format, appropriate bits set to 0 and then
+/// option would need to be created again from the wire format. We may consider
+/// doing it if we find a use case where it is required.
