+ *          The link layer implementation can choose to translate this flag into
+ *          frame header bits to tell the remote node that more traffic will
+ *          follow shortly. The most direct use case for this flag is to set it
+ *          for fragmented packets in duty cycled networks to tell the remote
+ *          node to keep its radio turned on after receiving the first fragment.
