TLV Definitions Overview

This chapter describes the individual pieces of a TLV message and lists the TLV definitions.

Type Length Values (TLV) represent individual pieces of data that make up the ADS message content. A TLV consists of a Type definition, data length measured in bytes (which does not include the Type or Length), and the data value.

Type: 2 bytes

Length: 4 bytes

Value: String {variable} | 1 byte | Short {2 bytes} | Integer {4 bytes} | Long {8 bytes} | TLVs {variable}

In addition, TLVs can contain other TLVs. In those cases the Length of the parent TLV includes the combined length of all sub TLVs.
