Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) B. Decraene Request for Comments: 7537 Orange Updates: 4379, 6424 N. Akiya Category: Standards Track C. Pignataro ISSN: 2070-1721 Cisco Systems L. Andersson S. Aldrin Huawei Technologies May 2015 IANA Registries for LSP Ping Code Points 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.

Introduction [RFC4379] and [RFC6424] created name spaces for MPLS LSP Ping. However, those RFCs did not create the corresponding IANA registries for 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. In particular, [ENTROPY-LSP-PING] and [LSP-PING-LAG] request new DS Flags and Multipath Type allocations. This document updates [RFC4379] and [RFC6424] in that it creates IANA registries for that purpose. Note that "DS Flags" and "Multipath Type" are fields included in two TLVs defined in the "Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters - TLVs" registry: Downstream Mapping (DEPRECATED) (value 2) and Downstream Detailed Mapping (value 20). Modification to either registry will affect both TLVs. Decraene, et al. Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 7537 IANA Registries for LSP Ping May 2015 2. IANA Considerations Per this document, IANA has created new registries within the "Multi- Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters" [IANA-MPLS-LSP-PING] registry to maintain DS Flags, Multipath Types, Pad TLVs, and Interface and Label Stack Address Types fields. The registry names and initial values are described in the immediate subsections that follow. 2.1. DS Flags [RFC4379] defines the Downstream Mapping (DSMAP) TLV, which has Type 2 assigned from the "Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters - TLVs" registry. [RFC6424] defines the Downstream Detailed Mapping (DDMAP) TLV, which has Type 20 assigned from the "Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters - TLVs" registry. DSMAP has been deprecated by DDMAP, but both TLVs share a field: DS Flags. IANA has created and now maintains a registry entitled "DS Flags". The registration policy for this registry is Standards Action [RFC5226]. IANA has made the following initial assignments: Registry Name: DS Flags Bit number Name Reference ---------- ---------------------------------------- --------- 7 N: Treat as a Non-IP Packet RFC 4379 6 I: Interface and Label Stack Object Request RFC 4379 5-0 Unassigned 2.2. Multipath Types IANA has created and now maintains a registry entitled "Multipath Types". The registration policies [RFC5226] for this registry are as follows: 0-250 Standards Action 251-254 Experimental Use 255 Standards Action Decraene, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 7537 IANA Registries for LSP Ping May 2015 IANA has made the following initial assignments: Registry Name: Multipath Types Value Meaning Reference ---------- ---------------------------------------- --------- 0 no multipath RFC 4379 1 Unassigned 2 IP address RFC 4379 3 Unassigned 4 IP address range RFC 4379 5-7 Unassigned 8 Bit-masked IP address set RFC 4379 9 Bit-masked label set RFC 4379 10-250 Unassigned 251-254 Experimental Use This document 255 Reserved This document 2.3. Pad Type IANA has created and now maintains a registry entitled "Pad Types". The registration policies [RFC5226] for this registry are: 0-250 Standards Action 251-254 Experimental Use 255 Standards Action IANA has made the following initial assignments: Registry Name: Pad Types Value Meaning Reference ---------- ---------------------------------------- --------- 0 Reserved This document 1 Drop Pad TLV from reply RFC 4379 2 Copy Pad TLV to reply RFC 4379 3-250 Unassigned 251-254 Experimental Use This document 255 Reserved This document Decraene, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 7537 IANA Registries for LSP Ping May 2015 2.4. Interface and Label Stack Address Type IANA has created and now maintains a registry entitled "Interface and Label Stack Address Types". The registration policies [RFC5226] for this registry are: 0-250 Standards Action 251-254 Experimental Use 255 Standards Action IANA has made the following initial assignments: Registry Name: Interface and Label Stack Address Types Value Meaning Reference ---------- ---------------------------------------- --------- 0 Reserved This document 1 IPv4 Numbered RFC 4379 2 IPv4 Unnumbered RFC 4379 3 IPv6 Numbered RFC 4379 4 IPv6 Unnumbered RFC 4379 5-250 Unassigned 251-254 Experimental Use This document 255 Reserved This document 3. Security Considerations This document simply creates IANA registries for code points defined in [RFC4379] and [RFC6424]. Thus, there are no new security concerns. Decraene, et al.
