Greetings to the List,

I have a small proposition to offer in regard to the situation with the
Length of the TLV.

It is a patch, and not a clean solution, but I'm sending it as an idea,
nontheless.

It can be applied to all TLV's.

If someone wants to send a TLV of size larger that may fit in the 16bits
Length, then it will set the Length field to zero, and the next 8 bytes will
be the length. So this a special case TLV, that the length is embedded on
the message.

What do you think?

Regards,
Evangelos Haleplidis.
