Reached from

Lower layer	Selector	Value
`llc`	First 8 bits of the payload when `dsap` = 254 (0xfe)	130 (0x82)
`ppp`	First 8 bits of the payload when `protocol` = 35 (0x0023)	130 (0x82)
`esis`	`pdu_type`	6 (re-decodes this layer)

Fields

Field	Type	Default	Auto	Description
`nlpid`	`enum(8)`	`130` (esis)		Network layer protocol identifier (0x82 = ES-IS).
`length_indicator`	`uint(8)`		Length of the header in octets	Length of the PDU in octets (Auto).
`version`	`uint(8)`	`1`		Version / protocol ID extension (1).
`reserved`	`uint(8)`	`0`
`reserved_type`	`uint(3)`	`0`
`pdu_type`	`enum(5)`	`6` (rd)		PDU type: 2 ESH (end system hello), 4 ISH (intermediate system hello), 6 RD (redirect).
`holding_time`	`uint(16)`	`30`		Holding time in seconds.
`checksum`	`uint(16)`		Fletcher checksum over the header	ISO 8473 Fletcher checksum of the PDU (Auto). 0 = checksum not used.
`destination`	`nsap`	`49.0001.0000.0000.0002.00`		Destination NSAP address being redirected.
`bsnpa_length`	`uint(8)`		Size of `bsnpa` in octets	Length of the subnetwork address (Auto).
`bsnpa`	`bytes` — `bsnpa_length` octets	`02 00 00 00 00 02`		Subnetwork address (e.g. MAC address) of the better next hop.
`net`	`nsap`	`49.0001.0000.0000.0002.00`		Network entity title of the intermediate system (redirect: empty when the next hop is an end system).
`options`	`tlv` — up to offset `length_indicator` of the group	`[]`		Options (8-bit code / 8-bit length) up to the length indicator: security, QoS maintenance, priority, address mask, SNPA mask, suggested ES configuration timer.
