We tried, but failed.  "git review" returned a 500 error.  Slightly later,
authentication failed (I was using the password autogenerated in the
Gerrit user interface).

Right, we missed that.

That's right, PAD1 is just a lone byte of value 0, not a real TLV.

  https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-babel-rfc6126bis-15#section-4.7.1

Then the changed in proto_tree_add_uint_format() must be adapted accordingly to differentiate both cases.

Right again.

I'll fix the code, see again if I can get Gerrit to work, then submit
a new version.

If you face any issue, send me the patch as an email attachment and I will submit it for you.

Best regards,

Pascal.

Thanks for your help,
