TLV Naming in the Mobile Ad Hoc Network Generalized Packet/Message Format
RFC 7631, “TLV Naming in the Mobile Ad Hoc Network Generalized Packet/Message Format”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2015 by C. Dearlove, T. Clausen. It updates RFC 5444. It has since been updated by RFC 7722. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document reorganizes the naming of already-allocated TLV (type- length-value) types and type extensions in the "Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) Parameters" registries defined by RFC 5444 to use names appropriately. It has no consequences in terms of any protocol implementation.
This document also updates the Expert Review guidelines in RFC 5444, so as to establish a policy for consistent naming of future TLV type and type extension allocations. It makes no other changes to RFC 5444.
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.
