A Registry for PIM Message Types
RFC 6166, “A Registry for PIM Message Types”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2011 by S. Venaas. It has been obsoleted by RFC 8736 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document provides instructions to IANA for the creation of a registry for PIM message types. It specifies the initial content of the registry, based on existing RFCs specifying PIM message types. It also specifies a procedure for registering new types.
In addition to this, one message type is reserved, and may be used for a future extension of the message type space. [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.
