Value Description Reference
0 Inclusive List Indicates that the object/TLV contains one or more subchannel elements that are included in the Label Set. RFC 3471
1 Exclusive List Indicates that the object/TLV contains one or more subchannel elements that are excluded from the Label Set. RFC 3471
2 Inclusive Range Indicates that the object/TLV contains a range of labels. The object/TLV contains two subchannel elements. The first element indicates the start of the range. The second element indicates the end of the range. A value of zero indicates that there is no bound on the corresponding portion of the range. RFC 3471
3 Exclusive Range Indicates that the object/TLV contains a range of labels that are excluded from the Label Set. The object/TLV contains two subchannel elements. The first element indicates the start of the range. The second element indicates the end of the range. A value of zero indicates that there is no bound on the corresponding portion of the range.
