-  IP Address Table
-    Each entry in this table is an IP address in use on this device. Usually
-    this is implemented in Layer3 Devices.
+  IPv4 Address Table
+    Each entry in this table is an IPv4 address in use on this device.
+    Usually this is implemented in Layer3 Devices. These methods try the
+    deprecated IPv4 address table "IP-MIB::ipAddrTable" first due to its
+    prevalence and will try the current "IP-MIB::ipAddressTable" if it
+    doesn't return any results. "IP-MIB::ipAddressTable" results are
+    filtered to only return IPv4 unicast addresses and modified to match the
+    return format of the older table for backwards compatibility.
+
+    See documentation in SNMP::Info::IPv6 for IPv6 Address Table.
