Checksum

Checksum of the LSA packet.

Length

Number of bytes in the LSA.

number of tlvs

Number of TLVs associated with this LSA.

TLV type

1 - Router Address

2 - Link

Link type

Defines the type of the link:

2 - Multiaccess

Link ID

Identifies the other end of the link. For point-to-point links, this is the Router ID of the neighbor. For multiaccess links, this is the interface address of the designated router.

Local IP address

Max Reservable BW

Maximum bandwidth that may be reserved on this link in this direction

Unreserved BW

Amount of bandwidth not yet reserved at each of the eight priority levels

Administrative Color

Administrative color membership for this link. A link that is a member of multiple groups will have multiple bits set.
