Each bit of this integer represents a value. The value of nth bit can be extracted by using following formula:X = ModeFlags/*(2^n)NthBitValue = X mod 2
Bit
Description
0
Always 1.
1
1 if the driver uses DMA.
2
Tells the router to only pass router table changes when they occur rather than forwarding all RIP and SAP packets.
3
Set if the driver supports multicasting.
4
Set if the driver can bind with a protocol stack without providing a network number.
6
Set if the driver supports raw sends. If the LSL hands a raw packet to MLID, the MLID should send the packet without pre-pending any hardware header.
10
Set if HSM can handle fragmented RCBs.
13
Set if HSM can handle promiscuous RCBs.
14 and 15
These bits collectively describe the driver Node Address.
00: Format is unspecified. The node address is assumed to be in the physical layer’s native format.
