The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IANA Registry and Processing Recommendations for the First Nibble Following a Label Stack' (draft-ietf-mpls-1stnibble-13.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Gunter Van de Velde, Jim Guichard and John Scudder. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-1stnibble/ Technical Summary This memo creates a new IANA registry (called the Post-stack First Nibble registry) for the first nibble (4-bit field) immediately following an MPLS label stack. The memo offers a rationale for such a registry, describes how the registry should be managed, and provides some initial entries. Furthermore, this memo sets out some documentation requirements for registering new values. Finally, it provides some recommendations that make processing MPLS packets easier and more robust. The relationship between the IANA IP Version Numbers (RFC 2780) and the Post-stack First Nibble registry is described in this document. This document updates RFC 4928 by deprecating the heuristic method for identifying the type of packet encapsulated in MPLS. Working Group Summary No controversy observed and rough consensus called. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Adrian Farrel. The Responsible Area Director is Jim Guichard. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
