    If version 2 or higher is negotiated, each party sends the other a
    NETINFO cell.  The cell's payload is:
 
-         Timestamp              [4 bytes]
-         Other OR's address     [variable]
-         Number of addresses    [1 byte]
-         This OR's addresses    [variable]
-
-   The address format is as follows:
-         Type [1 byte]
-           * 0x04 - IPv4
-           * 0x06 - IPv6
-         Length (size of Value field) [1 byte]
-           * 4 if Type is IPv4
-           * 16 if Type is IPv6
-         Value [Variable-width]
-           * Address value in network byte order.
+      TIME       (Timestamp)                     [4 bytes]
+      OTHERADDR  (Other OR's address)            [variable]
+         ATYPE   (Address type)                  [1 byte]
+         ALEN    (Adress length)                 [1 byte]
+         AVAL    (Address value in NBO)          [ALEN bytes]
+      NMYADDR    (Number of this OR's addresses) [1 byte]
+        NMYADDR times:
+          ATYPE   (Address type)                 [1 byte]
+          ALEN    (Adress length)                [1 byte]
+          AVAL    (Address value in NBO))        [ALEN bytes]
+
+   Recognized address types (ATYPE) are:
+     [04] IPv4.
+     [06] IPv6.
+
+   ALEN MUST be 4 when ATYPE is 0x04 (IPv4) and 16 when ATYPE is 0x06
+   (IPv6).
 
    The timestamp is a big-endian unsigned integer number of seconds
    since the Unix epoch. Implementations MUST ignore unexpected bytes
