Tag Length Value (TLV) format

[Rex Stefan]

Dear NS-3 users,

Is there any script which implemented Tag Length Value (TLV) format to understand how it is implemented? 

Thanks,

Rex

Hi,

TLV stands for Type (Length Value), not Tag. TLVs are widely used in many option headers, but there's no generic TLC implementation as far as I know, also because it's kinda pointless.

Anyway, they're extremely easy to develop, so I don't really think you'd learn much from them. The basis is "read 1 byte, read another byte, read x more bytes according to what's in the 2nd byte", with some minor differences.
