Updating the MPLS Label Switched Paths Ping Parameters IANA Registry
RFC 9041, “Updating the MPLS Label Switched Paths Ping Parameters IANA Registry”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2021 by L. Andersson, M. Chen, C. Pignataro, T. Saad. It updates RFC 8029, RFC 8611. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document updates RFCs 8029 and 8611, both of which define IANA registries for MPLS Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping. In particular, the registration procedure "Private Use" (previously known as "Vendor Private Use") has been changed to "First Come First Served" for the TLV and sub-TLV registries.
It also updates the description of the procedures for the responses sent when an unknown or erroneous code point is found. The updates are to clarify and align this namespace with recent developments, e.g., aligning terminology with RFC 8126 instead of the now obsoleted RFC 5226 (both titled "Guidelines for Writing an IANA Considerations Section in RFCs").
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.
