TLV Naming in the Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET)
Generalized Packet/Message Format
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.

RFC 7631 TLV Naming September 2015
1. Introduction
This document reorganizes and rationalizes the naming of TLVs (type-
length-value structures) defined by [RFC5444] and recorded by IANA in
the following subregistries of the "Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET)
Parameters" registry: "Packet TLV Types", "Message TLV Types", and
"Address Block TLV Types".
This document reorganizes the naming of already-allocated Packet,
Message, and Address Block TLV types, and their corresponding type
extensions. It also updates the corresponding IANA registries.
TLVs have a type (one octet) and a type extension (one octet) that
together form a full type (of two octets). A TLV may omit the type
extension when it is zero. However, that applies only to its
representation; it still has a type extension of zero. A TLV type
defines an IANA registry of type extensions for that type.
There have been two forms of TLV allocation.
The first, but less common, form of allocation has been that
allocation of the TLV type has defined (but not necessarily
allocated) all the type extensions for that TLV type. This applies,
for example, to the Address Block TLV LINK_METRIC specified in
[RFC7181]. The LINK_METRIC type extensions are all available for
allocation for different definitions of link metric. It is
appropriate in this case to apply the name LINK_METRIC to the type,
and also to all the full types corresponding to that type, as has
been done. Type extensions can then be individually named or can be
simply referred to by their number.
The second, more common, form of allocation has been that allocation
of the TLV type has defined only type extension 0, and possibly type
extension 1, for that TLV type. An example is the Address Block TLV
LINK_STATUS defined in [RFC6130], where only type extension 0 is
allocated. It is not reasonable to assume that the remaining 255
type extensions will be allocated to forms of LINK_STATUS. (Other
forms of link status are already catered to by the introduction, in
[RFC7188], of a registry for values of the LINK_STATUS TLV.) Thus,
the name LINK_STATUS should be attached to the specific type
extension for that type, i.e., to the full type and not to the TLV
type when used with any other type extensions. This was, however,
not done as part of the initial registration of this TLV type.
Effectively, this leaves, for the LINK_STATUS TLV type, the type
extensions 1-255 either unavailable for allocation (if applying
strictly the interpretation that they must relate to a LINK_STATUS)
or counterintuitively named for their intended function.
Dearlove & Clausen Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 7631 TLV Naming September 2015
The purpose of this document is to change how names of the second
form are applied and recorded in IANA registries, and to provide
guidelines and instructions for future TLV type allocations. This is
to facilitate the addition of new TLVs using type extensions other
than 0, but without them having inappropriate names attached. So,
for example, LINK_STATUS will become the name of the full type
(composed of the TLV type 3 and the TLV type extension 0) and will
cease being the name of the TLV type 3. This leaves the question of
how to name the type. As it is not clear what other TLVs might be
defined for other type extensions of the same type, the type is
currently left unnamed and specified only by number.
This document also updates the Expert Review guidelines from
[RFC5444], so as to establish a policy for consistent naming of
future TLV type and type extension allocations.
For clarity, all currently allocated TLVs in [RFC5497], [RFC6130],
[RFC6621], [RFC7181], and [RFC7182] are listed in the IANA
Considerations section of this document, each specifying the updates
or indicating no change when that is appropriate (such as the
LINK_METRIC TLV and both TLVs defined in [RFC6621]). The only
changes are of naming.
Note that nothing in this document changes the operation of any
protocol. This naming is already used, in effect, in [RFC6130] and
[RFC7181], currently the main users of allocated TLVs. For example,
the former indicates that all usage of LINK_STATUS refers to that TLV
with type extension 0.
2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
[RFC2119].
All references to elements such as "packet", "message", and "TLV" in
this document refer to those defined in [RFC5444].
3. IANA Considerations
This document updates the Expert Review evaluation guidelines for
allocations in [RFC5444] in the "Packet TLV Types", "Message TLV
Types", and "Address Block TLV Types" registries and updates the
already-made allocations to conform with these guidelines.
Dearlove & Clausen Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 7631 TLV Naming September 2015
3.1. Expert Review: Evaluation Guidelines
For registration in the "Packet TLV Types", "Message TLV Types", and
"Address Block TLV Types" registries, the following guidelines apply,
in addition to those given in Section 6.1 in [RFC5444]:
o If the requested TLV type immediately defines (but not necessarily
allocates) all the corresponding type extensions for versions of
that type, then a common name SHOULD be assigned for the TLV type.
This case is unchanged by this specification. This currently
includes TLV types named ICV, TIMESTAMP, and LINK_METRIC; it also
includes the HELLO Message-Type-specific TLVs defined in
[RFC6621].
o Otherwise, if the requested TLV type does not immediately define
all the corresponding type extensions for versions of that type,
then a common name SHOULD NOT be assigned for that TLV type.
Instead, it is RECOMMENDED that:
* The "description" for the allocated TLV type be "Defined by
Type Extension".
* For Packet TLV Types, the type extension registry, created for
the TLV type, be named "Type XX Packet TLV Type Extensions",
with XX replaced by the numerical value of the TLV type.
* For Message TLV Types, the type extension registry, created for
the TLV type, be named "Type XX Message TLV Type Extensions",
with XX replaced by the numerical value of the TLV type.
* For Address Block TLV Types, the type extension registry,
created for the TLV type, be named "Type XX Address Block TLV
Type Extensions", with XX replaced by the numerical value of
the TLV type.
* When a new type extension is required, unless there are reasons
to the contrary, the next consecutive type extension is
allocated and given a name. (Reasons to the contrary MAY
include maintaining a correspondence between corresponding
Packet, Message, and Address Block TLVs, and reserving type
extension zero if not yet allocated.)
