Working on too many things at one time. Actually this is already cover in
section 6.3 so I will reference that section.
If a TLV or Sub-TLV is recognized but the length is less than the
minimum, then the LSA should be considered malformed and it
SHOULD NOT be acknowledged. Additionally, the occurrence SHOULD
be logged with enough information to identify the LSA by type,
originator, and sequence number and the TLV or Sub-TLV in error.
Ideally, the log entry would include the hexadecimal or binary
representation of the LSA including the malformed TLS or Sub-TLV.
For example:
The sub-TLV length must meet minimum length constraints as specified in section
6.3.

* Section 3.10 and 3.11
What does the sub-TLV length mean here? Are values other than 4 and 16
permitted? If not, how is the packet treated (sub TLV is ignored?)
My thought was to allow for further sub-TLVs defined recursively. However,
one would still need a minimum length of 4 or 16 for the forwarding address
TLVs. I will add this constraint and will indicate that the TLV is treated as
malformed if it is not at least 4 or 16 octets respectively. Similarly, for the
Route Tag sub-TLV, I'll indicate that the length must be at least 4 octets.
Thanks,
Acee
