A value that indicates the set of services that this entity primarily offers.
The value is a sum. This sum initially takes the value zero. Then, for each
layer (L) in the range 1 through 7, which this node performs transactions
for, 2 raised to (L - 1) is added to the sum.
For example, a node that primarily performs routing functions has a value
3-1
of 4 (2 ). In contrast, a node that is a host and offers application services,
4-1
has a value of 72 (2
of protocols, values should be calculated accordingly:
Layer Functionality
1 = physical. (For example, repeaters)
2 = datalink/subnetwork. (For example, bridges)
3 = internet. (For example, IP gateways)
4 = end-to-end. (For example, IP hosts)
7 = applications. (For example, mail relays)
For systems including OSI protocols, layers 5 and 6 can also be
