1.Introduction

There were a number of reasons to start the work that has led to this document, e.g.,¶

When the LSP Ping registry was created, it was incorrectly assumed that code points allocated by Experimental RFCs would be "experimental" code points; a code point made available in a public IANA registry is not limited by the type of RFC that made the allocation: it is available for use in any type of document.¶
The number of "experimental" code points was also too large as compared to what is normally allocated for "Experimental Use".¶
The words "mandatory" and "optional" are used differently in[RFC8029] than in other RFCs. For example,[RFC8029] talks about mandatory TLVs to indicate that it is mandatory to take a certain action if the TLV is found in a message but is not recognized. Other RFCs use "mandatory TLV" to indicate a TLV that must be present in a message.¶

Over time, there have been attempts to administratively update some of the registries, but it was soon decided that an RFC was needed. Other, often minor, potential updates were found, e.g., reserving the value 0 (zero) in registries where that is possible.¶

[RFC8029] contains updates to the "Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters" IANA namespace[IANA-LSP-PING].¶

[RFC8611] created LSP Ping IANA registries that match[RFC8126]. This document further clarifies the entries in those registries and makes the definitions more precise.¶

This document updates[RFC8029] and[RFC8611] by updating two groups of registries as follows:¶

First, the "Message Types"[IANA-MT], "Reply Modes"[IANA-RM], and "Return Codes"[IANA-RC] registries are updated. The changes to these registries are minor.¶

Second, this document updates the TLV and sub-TLV registries listed below:¶

It should be noted that[RFC8029] was published before[RFC8126] and uses outdated terminology for some registration procedures, e.g., "Vendor Private Use".[RFC8611] was published after[RFC8126] and uses its recommended terminology, e.g., "Private Use". However, now both "Vendor Private Use" and "Private Use" have been removed and replaced with "First Come First Served" (FCFS) code points.¶

One reason to change from code points allocated by Vendor Private Use or Private Use is that such code points are allowed in production networks. Theoretically, it is possible that two vendors might use the same code point value with different meanings. If such a code is ever deployed in the same network, this could cause protocol issues that would be hard to debug.¶

With FCFS code points, this will not happen. Vendors that have existing code using Vendor Private Use or Private Use code points should register those code points as FCFS code points as soon as this document is published as an RFC.¶

The "Sub-TLVs for TLV Type 9" subregistry is not updated.¶

Third, according to[RFC8029], some code points (TLVs and sub-TLVs) are called "mandatory" or "optional". Contrary to how other RFCs use these words, indicating that it is mandatory or optional to include the code points in a message,[RFC8029] uses these words to indicate that an action might or might not be mandatory. This document updates[RFC8029] to drop the words "mandatory" and "optional", and the text is changed to focus on what should be done.¶

1.1.Requirements Language

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 BCP 14[RFC2119][RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.¶

1.2.Terminology

This section lists terms that are used when discussing the hierarchy of IANA registries (Section 1.2.1), and abbreviations used in IANA registries are updated in this document (Section 1.2.2).¶

1.2.1.Terminology Used in This Document

Terms related to IANA registries are used as follows in this document:¶

Namespace: A namespace is a top-level registry. An example could be "Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters"[IANA-LSP-PING]. A namespace is most often a container for registries that hold code points that share some affinity.¶
Registry: An IANA registry holds code points and lists the registration procedures and allocation for these code points. One example would be the "TLVs" registry[IANA-TLV-reg].¶
Subregistry: A subregistry is used when a code point, or a set of code points allocated in a single registry, needs "sub-code-points" scoped by the code point or the set of code points. An example of a subregistry that holds code points for more than one TLV is "Sub-TLVs for TLV Types 1, 16, and 21"[IANA-Sub-1-16-21].¶

1.2.2.Abbreviations

This section lists abbreviations used in the unchanged part of the registries updated by this document. These abbreviations were originally expanded in the document defining the registries. They are listed here following the requirement to expand any abbreviation that is not well known. All these abbreviations are from the "Return Codes" registry[IANA-RC].¶

BFD:: Bidirectional Forwarding Detection¶
DDMAP:: Downstream Detailed Mapping¶
FEC:: Forwarding Equivalence Class¶
OAM:: Operation, Administration, and Maintenance¶
PM:: Performance Monitoring¶
RSC:: Return Subcode¶

2.Updating the Message Types, Reply Modes, and Return Codes Registries

The following changes have been made to the "Message Types"[IANA-MT], "Reply Modes"[IANA-RM], and "Return Codes"[IANA-RC] registries.¶

In the listing of assigned code points, the term "Vendor Private Use" is changed to "Private Use" for the 252-255 range. The registration procedures have been updated to reflect this.¶
The registration procedure "Specification Required" is changed to "RFC Required" and the note "Experimental RFC needed" is removed for the 192-247 range.¶
A small set of four code points (248-251) for Experimental Use is added by reducing the "RFC Required" range. The registration procedures have been updated to reflect this.¶
A note "Reserved, not to be assigned" has been added for the registration procedures of the "Private Use" and "Experimental Use" ranges.¶
In the lists that capture the assignment status, the fields that are reserved, i.e.,0 (zero), Private Use, and Experimental Use, are clearly marked as such.¶
- Note that in the "Return Codes" registry[IANA-RC], the code point "0" has already been assigned. This assignment is not changed, and in this registry, the code point "0" continues to be assigned as "No Return Code".¶

The new registration procedures, the registry layouts, and the new assignments for these registries are found inSection 6.1.¶

3.Updating the TLV and Sub-TLV Registries

3.1.General Principles for the LSP Ping TLV and Sub-TLV Registries

The following principles apply to the processing of any TLV from anyof the LSP Ping TLV and sub-TLV IANA registries.¶

All TLVs and sub-TLVs with a type in the range 0-32767 require a response if they are not recognized.¶
All TLVs and sub-TLVs in the range 32768-65535 can be silently dropped if they are not recognized. Alternatively, the receiver may step over the unrecognized TLV or send an error message.¶

Each of the blocks has code point spaces with the following registration procedures:¶

Standards Action¶
RFC Required¶
Experimental Use¶
First Come First Served (FCFS)¶

The exact definitions of these procedures are foundin[RFC8126].¶

3.1.1.Unrecognized Experimental Use TLVs and Sub-TLVs

Unrecognized TLVs and sub-TLVs in the Experimental Use and FCFS ranges are handled as any other unrecognized TLV or sub-TLV.¶

If the unrecognized TLV or sub-TLV is from the Experimental Use range (31740-31743)or from the FCFS range (31744-32767), a Return Code of 2("One or more of the TLVs was not understood") must be sent in the echo response.¶
If a TLV or sub-TLV from the Experimental Use range (64508-64511) or from the FCFS range (64512-65535) is unrecognized, then the receiver can silently drop the TLV. Alternatively, the receiver may step over the unrecognized TLV or send an error message.¶

The IETF does not prescribe how recognized or unrecognized Experimental Use and Private Use TLVs and sub-TLVs are handled in experimental or private networks; that is up to the agency running the experimental or the private network. The statement above describes how standards-compliant implementations must treat the unrecognized TLVs and sub-TLVs from these ranges.¶

3.2.Common Registration Procedures for TLVs and Sub-TLVs

This section describes the new registration procedures for the TLV and sub-TLV registries.¶

Table 1:TLV and Sub-TLV Registration Procedures
Range	Registration Procedures	Note
0-16383	Standards Action	This range is for TLVs and sub-TLVs that require an error message if not recognized. This document,Section 3.1
16384-31739	RFC Required	This range is for TLVs and sub-TLVs that require an error message if not recognized. This document,Section 3.1
31740-31743	Reserved for Experimental Use	Not to be assigned. This range is for TLVs and sub-TLVs that require an error message if not recognized. This document,Section 3.1
31744-32767	FCFS	This range is for TLVs and sub-TLVs that require an error message if not recognized. This document,Section 3.1
32768-49161	Standards Action	This range is for TLVs and sub-TLVs that can be silently dropped if not recognized.
49162-64507	RFC Required	This range is for TLVs and sub-TLVs that can be silently dropped if not recognized.
64508-64511	Reserved for Experimental Use	Not to be assigned. This range is for TLVs and sub-TLVs that can be silently dropped if not recognized.
64512-65535	FCFS	This range is for TLVs and sub-TLVs that can be silently dropped if not recognized.

3.3.Changes to the LSP Ping Registries

This section lists the changes to each MPLS LSP Ping TLV and sub-TLV registry.Sections6.2.1 to6.2.7 describe how the newversions of the IANA registries should look, together with theregistration procedures for each registry.¶

The new registration procedure descriptions and the new assignments for these registries are used to model the changed MPLS LSP Ping registries; seeSection 6.¶

3.3.1.Changes Common to the TLV and Sub-TLV Registries

The following changes are made to the TLV and sub-TLV registries.¶

The registration procedures "First Come First Served" (FCFS) and "Experimental Use" have been added tothe table of registration procedures.¶
Two small sets of code points (four code points each) for Experimental Use have beencreated. The first set is for the range that requires a response if the TLV orsub-TLV is not recognized; the second set is for the range where the TLV or sub-TLV may be silently dropped if not recognized. The code points for Experimental Use have been taken from the ranges previously called "Specification Required" and "RFC Required"[RFC8029].¶
The registration procedure "Specification Required" has been changed to "RFCRequired", and the note "Experimental RFC needed" has been removed.¶
In the listing of assignments, the term "Vendor Private Use" has been changed to "First Come First Served" (FCFS).¶
In the listing of assignments, the range for "Experimental Use" has been added.¶
A note saying "Not to be assigned" has been added for the registration procedure"Experimental Use".¶
In the list that captures assignment status, the fields that are reserved, i.e.,0 (zero) and Experimental Use, have been clearly marked.¶

4.Updates to Related RFCs

Some referenced RFCs use the concept "mandatory TLVs" and "mandatory sub-TLVs" to indicate that, if a TLV or sub-TLV of the range 0-32767 in a message is not understood, an error message needs to be sent in response.¶

The same RFCs use "optional TLVs" and "optional sub-TLVs" to mean TLVs or sub-TLVs that can be silently ignored if not recognized.¶

Since other RFCs use "mandatory TLVs" and "mandatory sub-TLVs" to indicate TLVs and sub-TLVs that must be present in a message, we want to discontinue the use of "mandatory" to indicate TLVs and sub-TLVs that require an error message in response if not understood. The changes to the RFCs below align with this practice.¶

4.1.Updates to RFC 8029

"Mandatory" and "optional" are used to indicate whether a response is needed if a TLV or sub-TLV is not understood in Section3 of "Detecting Multiprotocol Label Switched (MPLS) Data-Plane Failures"[RFC8611].¶

The text in those two paragraphs is now updated to the following:¶

TLV and sub-TLV types less than 32768 (i.e., with the high-order bit equal to 0) are TLVs and sub-TLVs thatMUST either be supported by an implementation or result in a Return Code of 2 ("One or more of the TLVs was not understood") being sent in the echo response.¶
An implementation that does not understand or support a received TLV or sub-TLV with a type greater than or equal to 32768 (i.e., with the high-order bit equal to 1)SHOULD ignore and step over the TLV or sub-TLV; however, an implementationMAY send an echo response with a Return Code of 2 ("One or more of the TLVs was not understood") as it would have done if the high-order bit had been clear.¶

InSection 3.8 of [RFC8029], "mandatory" is used in the same way. The first two paragraphs of this section are now updated to read as follows:¶

The following TLV is a TLV thatMAY be included in an echo reply to inform the sender of an echo request that includes TLV or sub-TLV Types less than 32768 (i.e., with the high-order bit equal to 0) that are either not supported by the implementation or parsed and found to be in error.¶
The Value field uses sub-TLVs to encode the received TLVs and sub-TLVs that were not understood.¶

4.2.Updates to RFC 8611

Section13.4.1 of "Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping and Traceroute Multipath Support for Link Aggregation Group (LAG) Interfaces"[RFC8611] defines "Sub-TLVs for TLV Type 6"[IANA-Sub-6].¶

The "Sub-TLVs for TLV Type 6" registry has been updated to align with changes defined in this document.¶

Section 13.4.1 of [RFC8611] is now updated as follows:¶

Section 13.4.1 Sub-TLVs for TLV Type 6¶

IANA has created a new subregistry, "Sub-TLVs for TLV Type 6",[IANA-Sub-6] under the "TLVs" registry[IANA-TLV-reg] of the "Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters" namespace[lsp-ping-Namespace].¶

The "Sub-TLVs for TLV Type 6" subregistry is now updated to align with changes defined in this document.¶

Table 2:Sub-TLVs for TLV Type 6 Registration Procedures
Range	Registration Procedures	Note
0-16383	Standards Action	This range is for sub-TLVs that require an error message if not recognized. This document,Section 3.1
16384-31739	RFC Required	This range is for sub-TLVs that require an error message if not recognized. This document,Section 3.1

64512-65535	FCFS	This range is for sub-TLVs that can be silently dropped if not recognized.

5.Security Considerations

This document updates IANA registries. It also updates terminology used to define, and clarifies the terminology related to, the code points in the registries. The document does not change how the code points in the registries are used. This should not create any new threats.¶

However, the updated terminology and the clarifications improve security because it makes it more likely that implementations will be consistent and harder to attack.¶

6.IANA Considerations

IANA has updated the "Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters" namespace[IANA-LSP-PING] as described in this document.¶

SeeSection 1.2.1 of "Terminology Used in This Document" to see how "namespace", "registry", and "subregistry" are used in this document.¶

In other parts of this document, the commonality of the changes to the LSP Ping registries has been the focus. For the IANA Considerations, each changed registry has been described in its own right.¶

The following registries and subregistries have been changed:¶

"Message Types",[IANA-MT]¶
"Reply Modes",[IANA-RM]¶
"Return Codes",[IANA-RC]¶
"TLVs",[IANA-TLV-reg]¶
"Sub-TLVs for TLV Types 1, 16, and 21",[IANA-Sub-1-16-21]¶
"Sub-TLVs for TLV Type 6",[IANA-Sub-6]¶
"Sub-TLVs for TLV Type 11",[IANA-Sub-11]¶
"Sub-TLVs for TLV Type 20",[IANA-Sub-20]¶
"Sub-TLVs for TLV Type 23",[IANA-Sub-23]¶
"Sub-TLVs for TLV Type 27",[IANA-Sub-27]¶

This document has been listed as an additional reference for each of the registries described in Sections6.1 and6.2.¶

6.2.Updates to the TLV and Sub-TLV Registries

The updates to the TLV and the sub-TLV registries are mostly the same; however, the "Sub-TLVs for TLV Type 9"[IANA-Sub-9] registry has not been updated.¶

Note that when a field in an assignment table says "EQ", it means that there is no change from the existing field in the "Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters" namespace[IANA-LSP-PING].¶

6.2.1.Updates to the TLVs Registry

This section describes the new registration procedures and the assignments for the "TLVs" registry[IANA-TLV-reg] that are based on them.¶

The registration procedures have been changed, as follows, for the "TLVs" registry.¶

The "Specification Required" registration procedure has been changed to "RFC Required". The comment "Experimental RFC Required" has been removed. Note that when a field in an assignment table says "EQ", it means that there is no change from the existing field in the "Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters" namespace[IANA-LSP-PING].¶
[RFC8611] was published after[RFC8126] and uses the new terminology, e.g., "Private Use". The code points registration procedure "Private Use" has been replaced by the "First Come First Served" code point registration procedure.¶
Two small sets, four code points each, have been created for Experimental Use.¶
Code points that are reserved are clearly marked as such.¶
The assignments have been updated to match the new registration procedures.¶
The notes related to the registration procedures have been changed to reflect whether or not a response is required if a TLV is not recognized.¶

The registration procedures for the "TLVs" registry[IANA-TLV-reg] after the changes listed above are shown in the table below:¶

Table 9:TLVs Registration Procedures
