ASN.1 integers can be arbitrarily long. If you don't have any subtype
constraints usually it will be the min/max value of "int" for the platform
you are using. However, compilers "Oss Nokalva" allow you define the size of
INTEGER (like 16 or 32 or 64 bits) by using vendor specific directives.

As I said ASN.1 integer could be arbitrarily long, it is always recommended
that you constrain the type whenever possible in order to facilitate
interworking, and subtype constraints will be useful to reduce the size of
encoded data, if you are using PER.
