X: Unused. Must be zero and ignored.

IS (NTDSTRANSPORT_OPT_IGNORE_SCHEDULES, 0x00000001): If present, values of the schedule attribute for siteLink objects associated with this transport are ignored. In this case, the schedule is assumed to be always "on"; that is, that the transport is always available to send and receive messages.

BR (NTDSTRANSPORT_OPT_BRIDGES_REQUIRED, 0x00000002): If present, transitive connectivity between siteLink objects associated with this transport is assumed only if the siteLink objects are in the siteLinkList of the same siteLinkBridge object. If absent, the system behaves as if all siteLink objects associated with this transport were in the siteLinkList of a common siteLinkBridge object associated with this transport.
