All,

In the section 2.1 FEC's of the RFC 3036, I have a query in 
the section below ::
Following are the currently defined types of FEC elements.  New
element types may be added as needed:

1. Address Prefix.  This element is an address prefix of any
   length from 0 to a full address, inclusive.

2. Host Address.  This element is a full host address.

(We will see below that an Address Prefix FEC element which is a full
 address has a different effect than a Host Address FEC element which
 has the same address.)

The above statement that "Address Prefix FEC element which is a full
 address has a different effect than a Host Address FEC element" 

I want to know what kind of difference will that be, as my understanding 
is that the "Address Prefix FEC element which is a full address" 
 is same as "Host Address FEC element". Can some one let me know.

Regards,
Saroj.
