ATSC 3.0 includes a new link layer protocol known as ALP (ATSC Link-layer protocol).

A linktype allocation would enable packet capture and diagnostics of the ATSC 3.0 link layer.

Proposed linktype allocation:

LINKTYPE_ name = LINKTYPE_ATSC_ALP
LINKTYPE_ value = 289
Corresponding DLT_ name = DLT_ATSC_ALP
Description: ATSC link-layer protocol, as defined by ATSC A/330:2019

General link to ATSC 3.0 standards: https://www.atsc.org/standards/atsc-3-0-standards/

So the first two octets of the packet data contain the Base Header?

That appears to be a 16-bit header; in a capture, in what order are the bytes of the Base Header, and in what order are 
the bit fields?  The same applies to other fields.
