LinkType values 147 to 162 named LINKTYPE\_RESERVED\_xx were originally reserved for Experimental/Private Use, and that use continues to be supported.

Specifications that are not publicly available, but which may be obtained via liaison agreements (such as to ITU-T, 3GPP, IEEE, etc.) are acceptable particularly if the specification document will be public eventually, but are discouraged.
