- The combinatorics of TLVs and sequential processing requirements are hard to make efficient in both software and hardware implementations. Bit-fields do not have this problem
DT: This is not true according to the HW vendors presented in the design team. So the long standing known complexities of sequential TLV parsing, combinatoric ordering, random access, DOS threats, parser buffer sizes, dealing with loop free parsing mechanisms like P4 that have plagued other TLV implementations like IP options IPv6 EH and other protocols in IETF is now a solved problem? That's awesome!!! But can you please provide the ***details*** why this is now considered a solved problem for both software *and* hardware.
