  • Version/Flags
  • ExtendedFlags1
  • PublisherId

  • PayloadHeader Additional restrictions:

  • The datatype for the PublisherId shall be UInt64 Note: For the PublisherId the DataType UInt64 was selected because it allows a simple way for a Publisher to generate unique PublisherIds by using the local MAC address (48 Bit) as part of the PublisherId.
