Introduction The IS-IS TLV Codepoints registry was created by [RFC3563] and extended by [RFC6233]. As IS-IS related RFCs are published the codepoints required for the protocol extensions are added to the IANA managed registry. In the case of TLVs supporting neighbor advertisement a common sub-TLV registry has been created. This sub- TLV registry needs to include additional neighbor advertisement TLVs defined in [RFC5311]. In the case of TLVs supporting prefix advertisement, currently separate sub-TLV registries are maintained for each TLV. These registries need to be combined into a common sub-TLV registry similar to what has been done for neighbor advertisement TLVs. Ginsberg Expires December 13, 2014 [Page 2] Internet-Draft isis-tlv-codepoints June 2014 There is a need to support early allocation of codepoints defined in drafts which seem likely to eventually gain WG approval. The procedure for obtaining early allocation of codepoints is described. 2. IS Neighbor sub-TLV Registry There is an existing common sub-TLV registry for Sub-TLVs for TLV 22, 141, and 222. [RFC5311] defines the IS Neighbor Attribute TLV (23) and the MT IS Neighbor Attribute TLV (223). Format of these TLVs is identical to TLVs 22 and 222 respectively. The IS Neighbor sub-TLV Registry needs to be extended to include these two TLVs. Settings for inclusion of each sub-TLV are identical to the settings for TLVs 22 and 222 respectively. 3. Prefix Reachability sub-TLV Registry Currently there exist separate sub-TLV registries for TLVs (135, 235, 236, 237). As in the case of the IS Neighbor TLVs discussed in the previous section, assignment of sub-TLVs applicable to one or more of these TLVs is intended to be common. Therefore the existing separate sub-TLV registries need to be combined into a single registry entitled "Sub-TLVs for TLVs 135, 235, 236, and 237". As existing sub-TLV assignments are common to all the TLVs this represents no change to the protocol - only a clearer representation of the intended sub-TLV allocation strategy. Format of the registry would be as shown below: Type Description 135 235 236 237 Reference ---- ------------ --- --- --- --- --------- 0 Unassigned 1 32-bit Administrative Tag Sub-TLV Y Y Y Y [RFC5130] 1 64-bit Administrative Tag Sub-TLV Y Y Y Y [RFC5130] 3-255 Unassigned 4. Early Allocation of Codepoints When new drafts are introduced requiring new codepoints, it is advantageous to have the ability to do early allocation of codepoints. The reasons this is advantageous and the process to do so is described in [RFC7120]. However, [RFC7120] procedures do not apply to registries such as the IS-IS TLV Codepoints Registry which utilize "Expert Review" allocation policy. In such cases what is required is that a request be made to the designated experts. The following procedures are defined. Note these procedures apply specifically to the IS-IS TLV Codepoints registry. This document is not defining a general early allocation process for other Expert Review registries. Ginsberg Expires December 13, 2014 [Page 3] Internet-Draft isis-tlv-codepoints June 2014 1. In order to qualify for early allocation a draft MUST be accepted as a WG document 2. The author(s) of the draft MAY request early allocation of codepoints to the chair(s) of the WG in which the document is submitted 3. The WG chair(s) gauge whether there is consensus within the WG that early allocation is appropriate for the given document and that the conditions for early allocation specified in [RFC7120] Section 2 are satisfied. If so the request is forwarded to the Area Director(s). 4. If the Area Director(s) approve, the request is forwarded to the Designated Experts for their approval. 5. Once the Designated Experts have granted approval IANA will update the registry marking the allocated codepoints as "Temporary" following the procedures specified in [RFC7120] Section 3.1 5. IANA Considerations This document requires the addition of TLVs 23 and 223 to the existing Sub-TLVs for TLV 22, 141, and 222 registry as described in Section 2. This document requires the existing sub-TLV registries for TLVs (135, 235, 236, 237) be combined into a single registry as described in Section 3. 6. Security Considerations This document introduces no new security issues. 7. Acknowledgements The author wishes to thank Alia Atlas and Amanda Baber for their input in defining the correct process to follow to get these changes implemented. 8. References 8.1.
