Sub-TLVs how to have the same kind of descriptor twice

Yeah he is trying to use VPLS with an Alvarion ASN.  He is going to have to
use the master branch.

  You don't need to use them all.

  IIRC, it should create two descriptors.

  Which version are you using?  For a lot of the weirder WiMAX stuff, you'll
need to use the "master" branch.

  No idea.  The WiMAX specs are thousands of pages long.  It's a miracle it
works at all.

  If that works... do it.  Note that you *can* use a non-packet attribute.

  e.g. Tmp-String-0 += "blah"

  It doesn't have to be a "real" attribute.
