Update to the IANA PCEP Registration Procedures

Abstract

This document updates the registration procedure within the IANA "Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) Numbers" group of registries. This specification changes some of the registries with Standards Action to IETF Review as defined in RFC 8126. This memo updates RFCs 8231, 8233, 8281, 8623, 8664, 8685, 8697, 8733, 8745, 8779, 8780, 8800, 8934, 9050, 9059, 9168, 9357, and 9504.

Discussion Venues

This note is to be removed before publishing as an RFC.

Discussion of this document takes place on the Path Computation Element Working Group mailing list (pce@ietf.org), which is archived at https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/pce/.

Status of This Memo

This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.

Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-Drafts is at https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.

Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."

This Internet-Draft will expire on 24 January 2025.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

The IANA "Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) Numbers" registry was populated by several RFCs produced by the Path Computation Element (PCE) working group. Most of the registries include the "IETF Review" [RFC8126] as registration procedures. There are a few registries that use "Standards Action". Thus the values in those registries can be assigned only through Standards Track or Best Current Practice RFCs in the IETF Stream. This memo changes the policy from Standards Action to IETF Review to allow any type of RFC under the IETF stream to make the allocation request.

2. PCEP Registries Affected

The following table lists the "Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) Numbers" registries whose registration policy has changed from Standards Action to IETF Review. Affected registries now list this document as a reference. Where this change is applied to a specific range of values within the particular registry, that range is given in the Remarks column.

Question to the WG: The current document updates all
the registries. Should we keep "Standards Action" for
some of them such as flag fields with limited bits?

3. Security Considerations

This memo does not change the Security Considerations for any of the updated RFCs.

4. IANA Considerations

This memo is entirely about updating the IANA "Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) Numbers" registry.
