Rationale/Explanation of issue:

Integer 
    
         The Integer field is four octets in length.  The format of the 
         Integer field consists of two parts, the first consuming high-
         order octet and the second consuming the remaining three lower-
         order octets.  The high-order octet field indicates if the 
         VLANID is allowed for tagged or untagged packets.  The second 
         part is the 12-bit 802.1Q VLAN VID value that has been padded 
         out to consume the remaining three lower-order octets.  A 
         sample encoding follows:  


This is not an Integer data type.  It is a multi-field Octet String
(complex data type).

Requested changes:

Express a String data type (with sub-fields).
