Internet Code Point Assignments for NSAP Addresses

Overview

RFC 4548, “Internet Code Point Assignments for NSAP Addresses”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2006 by E. Gray, J. Rutemiller, G. Swallow. It updates RFC 1888, RFC 4048. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document is intended to accomplish two highly inter-related tasks: to establish an "initial" Internet Code Point (ICP) assignment for each of IPv4 and IPv6 address encoding in Network Service Access Point (NSAP) Addresses, and to recommend an IANA assignment policy for currently unassigned ICP values. In the first task, this document is a partial replacement for RFC 1888 -- particularly for section 6 of RFC 1888. In the second task, this document incorporates wording and specifications from ITU-T Recommendation X.213 and further recommends that IANA use the "IETF consensus" assignment policy in making future ICP assignments. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

What “Proposed Standard” means

An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
