So if I have a table and IDs is 1.3, I can use DEL opeation with IDs = 1.3 and 
FULLDATA TLV = 4(only T+L, no Value) to kill all content of the table? 

In the article "Draft Protocol", it defines a lot of return code of Result TLV. But 
I have some confusion. Like "0x01 E_INVALID_HEADER", if I parse a packet and 
its common header is incorrect, where can I put the Rusult TLV to report the 
error?  

Thanks a lot.
