Hello TLV header
p.
25, 4.4.1
The Hello TLV is used to set up and maintain a link between two PRoPHET nodes. Hello messages with the SYN function are transmitted periodically as beacons. The Hello TLV is the first TLV exchanged between two PRoPHET nodes when they encounter each other. No other TLVs can be exchanged until the first Hello sequenece is completed.
Once a communication link is established between two PRoPHET nodes, the Hello TLV will be sent once for each interval as defined in the interval timer. If a node experiences the lapse of HELLO_DEAD Hello intervals without receiving a Hello TLV on an ESTAB connection (as defined in the state machine in Section 5.2), the connection SHOULD be assumed broken.

Specifies the function of the Hello TLV.
Four functions are specified for the Hello TLV:
SYN: HF = 1
SYNACK: HF = 2
ACK: HF = 3
RSTACK: HF = 4.

The Name Length field is used to specify the length of the Sender Name field in octets.
If the name has already been sent at least once in a message with the current Sender Instance, a node MAY choose to set this field to zero, omitting the Sender Name from the Hello TLV.

The Timer field is used to inform the receiver of the timer value used in the Hello processing of the sender.
The timer specifies the nominal time between periodic Hello messages. It is a constant for the duration of a session. The timer field is specified in units of 100ms.
