Detailed Description

Netlink Type-Length-Value (TLV) attribute:

        |<-- 2 bytes -->|<-- 2 bytes -->|<-- variable -->|
        -------------------------------------------------
        |     length    |      type     |      value     |
        -------------------------------------------------
        |<--------- header ------------>|<-- payload --->|

The payload of the Netlink message contains sequences of attributes that are expressed in TLV format.
