IANA Considerations and IETF Protocol and Documentation Usage for IEEE 802 Parameters
RFC 9542, “IANA Considerations and IETF Protocol and Documentation Usage for IEEE 802 Parameters”, is a Best Current Practice document published in April 2024 by D. Eastlake 3rd, J. Abley, Y. Li. It obsoletes RFC 7042. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Some IETF protocols make use of Ethernet frame formats and IEEE 802 parameters. This document discusses several aspects of such parameters and their use in IETF protocols, specifies IANA considerations for assignment of points under the IANA Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI), and provides some values for use in documentation. This document obsoletes RFC 7042.
What “Best Current Practice” means
Documents the IETF community's recommended operational or procedural practice rather than a protocol specification.
