IANA Registries for LSP Ping Code Points
RFC 7537, “IANA Registries for LSP Ping Code Points”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2015 by B. Decraene, N. Akiya, C. Pignataro, L. Andersson, S. Aldrin. It updates RFC 4379, RFC 6424. It has been obsoleted by RFC 8029 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
RFCs 4379 and 6424 created name spaces for Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping. However, those RFCs did not create the corresponding IANA registries for Downstream Mapping object Flags (DS Flags), Multipath Types, Pad TLVs, and Interface and Label Stack Address Types.
There is now a need to make further code point allocations from these name spaces. This document updates RFCs 4379 and 6424 in that it creates IANA registries for that purpose.
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.
