+/**
+ * The per-peer header follows the common header for most BMP messages.
+ * The rest of the data in a BMP message is dependent on the Message
+ * Type field in the common header.
+ * <p>
+ * Peer Type (1 byte): Identifies the type of peer.  Currently, three
+ * types of peers are identified:
+ * <p>
+ * *  Peer Type = 0: Global Instance Peer
+ * *  Peer Type = 1: RD Instance Peer
+ * *  Peer Type = 2: Local Instance Peer
+ * <p>
+ * o  Peer Flags (1 byte): These flags provide more information about
+ * the peer.  The flags are defined as follows:
+ * <p>
+ * 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+ * +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ * |V|L|A| Reserved|
+ * +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ * <p>
+ * *  The V flag indicates that the Peer address is an IPv6 address.
+ * For IPv4 peers, this is set to 0.
+ * <p>
+ * The L flag, if set to 1, indicates that the message reflects
+ * the post-policy Adj-RIB-In (i.e., its path attributes reflect
+ * the application of inbound policy).  It is set to 0 if the
+ * message reflects the pre-policy Adj-RIB-In.  Locally sourced
+ * routes also carry an L flag of 1.  See Section 5 for further
+ * detail.  This flag has no significance when used with route
+ * mirroring messages.
+ * <p>
+ * *  The A flag, if set to 1, indicates that the message is
+ * formatted using the legacy 2-byte AS_PATH format.  If set to 0,
+ * the message is formatted using the 4-byte AS_PATH format
+ * [RFC6793].  A BMP speaker MAY choose to propagate the AS_PATH
+ * information as received from its peer, or it MAY choose to
+ * reformat all AS_PATH information into a 4-byte format
+ * regardless of how it was received from the peer.  In the latter
+ * case, AS4_PATH or AS4_AGGREGATOR path attributes SHOULD NOT be
+ * sent in the BMP UPDATE message.  This flag has no significance
+ * when used with route mirroring messages.
+ * <p>
+ * The remaining bits are reserved for future use.  They MUST be
+ * transmitted as 0 and their values MUST be ignored on receipt.
+ * <p>
+ * Peer Distinguisher (8 bytes): Routers today can have multiple
+ * instances (example: Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks (L3VPNs)
+ * [RFC4364]).  This field is present to distinguish peers that
+ * belong to one address domain from the other.
+ * <p>
+ * If the peer is a "Global Instance Peer", this field is zero-
+ * filled.  If the peer is a "RD Instance Peer", it is set to the
+ * route distinguisher of the particular instance the peer belongs
+ * to.  If the peer is a "Local Instance Peer", it is set to a
+ * unique, locally defined value.  In all cases, the effect is that
+ * the combination of the Peer Type and Peer Distinguisher is
+ * sufficient to disambiguate peers for which other identifying
+ * information might overlap.
+ * <p>
+ * Peer Address: The remote IP address associated with the TCP
+ * session over which the encapsulated PDU was received.  It is 4
+ * bytes long if an IPv4 address is carried in this field (with the
+ * 12 most significant bytes zero-filled) and 16 bytes long if an
+ * IPv6 address is carried in this field.
+ * <p>
+ * Peer AS: The Autonomous System number of the peer from which the
+ * encapsulated PDU was received.  If a 16-bit AS number is stored in
+ * this field [RFC6793], it should be padded with zeroes in the 16
+ * most significant bits.
+ * <p>
+ * Timestamp: The time when the encapsulated routes were received
+ * (one may also think of this as the time when they were installed
+ * in the Adj-RIB-In), expressed in seconds and microseconds since
+ * midnight (zero hour), January 1, 1970 (UTC).  If zero, the time is
+ * unavailable.  Precision of the timestamp is implementation-
+ * dependent.
+ * <p>
+ * 4.3.  Initiation Message
+ * <p>
+ * The initiation message provides a means for the monitored router to
+ * inform the monitoring station of its vendor, software version, and so
+ * on.  An initiation message MUST be sent as the first message after
+ * the TCP session comes up.  An initiation message MAY be sent at any
+ * point thereafter, if warranted by a change on the monitored router.
+ * <p>
+ * The initiation message consists of the common BMP header followed by
+ * two or more Information TLVs containing information
+ * about the monitored router.  The sysDescr and sysName Information
+ * TLVs MUST be sent, any others are optional.  The string TLV MAY be
+ * included multiple times.
