MH-C-BILATERAL-INFORMATION
MH-C-BILATERAL-INFORMATION
This class of object consists of binary data that follows the BER. The data type of the 
encoded value is defined by the source domain, the administration management domain 
(ADMD) or private management domain (PRMD) that supplies the data. The ADMDs 
or PRMDs for which the data is intended are presumed to know the syntax and 
semantics of the data.
Table 3-6
 describes the attribute types for this class and the syntax, length, and number 
of values for each type. 
Some attribute types have additional value characteristics, as shown in Table 3-7
.
