Hi Alan,

Thank you for your answers to my questions - they helped - also I managed to compile and run the c-program that you mentioned below from the RFC.

Thanks and have a good day.

Robert.?

  The attribute number is one.  See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8044#section-3.13 for a description of TLV-Type

  They represent type + data.  The length is calculated automatically.

  The RFC includes C source code for the tool which parses the examples.  So that should help explain the format.

  Yes

  It's just the data, i.e. the value.  It doesn't mean anything.
