[Mip4] RFC 3344 and draft-ietf-mip4-rfc3344bis-05.txt IANA Considerations

[Acee Lindem <acee at redback.com>]

Hi Charlie,

Why is the type 0 for one-byte pad listed in section 6.3 under the "Extensions for Mobile IP Registrations"? 

6.3.  Extensions to Mobile IP Registration Messages

   The Mobile IP messages, specified within this document, and listed in

   Section 1.8 and Section 6.1, may have extensions.  Mobile IP message

   extensions all share the same number space, even if they are to be

   applied to different Mobile IP messages.  The number space for Mobile

   IP message extensions is specified within this document.  Approval of

   new extension numbers is subject to Expert Review, and a

   specification is required [14].

       Type  Name                                             Reference

       ----  --------------------------------------------     ---------

       0     One-byte Padding

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

       32    Mobile-Home Authentication                       3.5.2

       33    Mobile-Foreign Authentication                    3.5.3

       34    Foreign-Home Authentication                      3.5.4

Clearly, that is not the intent nor what IANA has reserved:
