Self-Delimiting Numeric Values (SDNVs) have recently been introduced
as a field type in proposed Delay-Tolerant Networking protocols.
SDNVs encode an arbitrary-length non-negative integer or arbitrary-
length bit-string with minimum overhead.  They are intended to
provide protocol flexibility without sacrificing economy, and to
assist in future-proofing protocols under development.  This document
describes formats and algorithms for SDNV encoding and decoding,
along with notes on implementation and usage.  This document is a
product of the Delay Tolerant Networking Research Group and has been
reviewed by that group.  No objections to its publication as an RFC
were raised.
