David, This interface is for configuring general parameters about TLV types, it's not for setting TLVs on routes or packet. The "ip" command type interface using genl should be sufficient for that purpose. For exmple, here is "ip" command I'm using to allow non-privileged users to set path MTU option (draft-hinden-6man-mtu-option-01): sudo $QDIR/sbin/ip ip6tlv set type 62 order 80 user-perm 1 class 1 align-mult 2 align-off 0 min-len 4 max-len 4 len-mult 1 len-off 0 Tom
