Clarify service field #13

Closed nicorusti closed 3 months ago

nicorusti commented 3 months ago

We currently document type service 0b0100, but we don't further document possible values for it. We might need to add another table with potential values for the service field, as defined in here

                      Table 2: Address length values

    +================+======+=======================+================+
    | Length (bytes) | Type |  Type/Length (binary) | Interpretation |
    +================+======+=======================+================+
    | 4              | 0    | 0b0000                | IPv4           |
    +----------------+------+-----------------------+----------------+
    | 4              | 1    | 0b0100                | Service        |
    +----------------+------+-----------------------+----------------+
    | 16             | 0    | 0b1100                | IPv6           |
    +----------------+------+-----------------------+----------------+
    | other          |      |                       | Unassigned     |
    +----------------+------+-----------------------+----------------+
