Management TLVs
A management TLV is an optional TLVs sub-type. This kind of TLV contains essential management
information about the sender.
Organizationally Specific TLVs
A professional organization or a vendor can define organizationally specific TLVs. They have two
mandatory fields (as shown in the following illustration) in addition to the basic TLV fields.
