Hi, there is some reason that why default octet column type is set to char ?
I think that octet data is a integer.
Thanks.

in order to make it easy to encode and display octets with leading zeros.
i know that's dumb. i was being lazy about something else, where i didn't want to right pad the int and cast it as a string. i can't remember exactly what it was.
i regret the decision to have one field per octet, and i'm planning an upgrade to a single field that using ip2long and long2ip to encode and decode.
