This document describes a general and flexible TLV (type-length-value structure) for representing time-values@ such as an interval or a duration@ using the generalized Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) packet/ message format. It defines two Message TLVs and two Address Block TLVs for representing validity and interval times for MANET routing protocols.
