[RFC5340]. for information on the LS Type encoding in OSPFv3, and
section 2 of [RFC8362] for OSPFv3 extended LSA types. An OSPFv3
function code will be reserved for Transport Instance Information

advertised at any of the defined flooding scopes (link, area, or
autonomous system (AS)). The U bit will be set indicating that
OSPFv3 TTI LSAs should be flooded even if it is not understood.
