An ASN.1 encoded element is stored in a PDU. This is what is transfered between a client and a server. TLV stands for '''Type/Length/Value'''. A PDU is made of '''TLV'''s. Each '''TLV''' represent either a primitive element, and it has a '''V'''alue, or a constructed element, and the '''V'''alue is itself one ore more '''TLV''' (The '''V''' can contain more than one '''TLV'''). The '''PDU''' structure is like a tree, where the '''PDU''' is the whole tree, and where '''TLV''' are leaves (primitives) and branches (constructed)
