2.2.5 Encapsulated Protocol ID Attribute
The following diagram specifies the format that MUST be used for the Encapsulated Protocol ID attribute. This attribute is used to negotiate the higher-layer protocols that are supported by the client and server.
The client proposes the list of higher-layer protocols that it wants to send on the SSTP connection. If the server supports the protocols that are specified by the client, then a negative acknowledgment (NACK) response is not sent. Otherwise, the server sends a NACK response with the list of protocols that it does not support.
The fields of the structure MUST be transmitted as bytes from left to right.

Reserved (1 byte): This 8-bit field is reserved for future use. MUST be set to zero when sent and MUST be ignored on receipt.
Attribute ID (1 byte): An 8-bit (1-byte) field that is used to specify the type of attribute; its value MUST be 0x01 for the Encapsulated Protocol ID attribute.
LengthPacket (2 bytes): A 16-bit unsigned integer in network byte order that packs data for two fields, configured in the following format.
