+ *
+ * Base Header Field Descriptions:
+ *
+ * Version: The version field is used to ensure backward compatibility
+ * going forward with future NSH updates.
+ *
+ * O bit: Indicates that this packet is an operations and management
+ * (OAM) packet. SFF and SFs nodes MUST examine the payload and take
+ * appropriate action (e.g. return status information).
+ *
+ * OAM message specifics and handling details are outside the scope of
+ * this document.
+ *
+ * C bit: Indicates that a critical metadata TLV is present (see section
+ * 7). This bit acts as an indication for hardware implementers to
+ * decide how to handle the presence of a critical TLV without
+ * necessarily needing to parse all TLVs present. The C bit MUST be set
+ * to 1 if one or more critical TLVs are present.
+ *
+ * All other flag fields are reserved.
+ *
+ * Length: total length, in 4 byte words, of the NSH header, including
+ * optional variable TLVs. Length must be equal or greater than 6.
+ *
+ * MD Type: indicates the format of NSH beyond the base header and the
+ * type of metadata being carried. This typing is used to describe the
+ * use for the metadata. A new registry will be requested from IANA for
+ * the MD Type. NSH defines one type, type = 0x1 which indicates that
+ * the format of the header is as per this draft.
+ *
+ * The format of the base header is invariant, and not described by MD
+ * Type.
+ *
+ * Next Protocol: indicates the protocol type of the original packet. A
+ * new IANA registry will be created for protocol type.
+ *
+ * This draft defines the following Next Protocol values:
+ *
+ * 0x1 : IPv4
+ * 0x2 : IPv6
+ * 0x3 : Ethernet
