Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI) Query Request Number Change
Status of This Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
Abstract
The Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Q.921-User Adaptation
Layer (IUA) Protocol, described in RFC 4233, defines the message type
of Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI) Query Request messages as 5.
However, this number is already being used by the Digital Private
Network Signaling System (DPNSS)/Digital Access Signaling System 2
(DASS 2) Extensions (DUA) to the IUA Protocol described in RFC 4129.
This document updates RFC 4233 such that the message type of TEI
Query Request messages is 8.

RFC 5133 TEI Query Request Number Change December 2007
1. Introduction
The Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Q.921-User Adaptation
Layer (IUA) protocol, described in [RFC3057], does not define a
Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI) Query Request message. The
Digital Private Network Signaling System (DPNSS)/Digital Access
Signaling System 2 (DASS 2) Extensions (DUA) to the IUA Protocol,
described in [RFC4129], introduces Data Link Connection (DLC) Status
messages of type 5, 6, and 7. Then, [RFC4233] was published, which
updates [RFC3057]. [RFC4233] also introduces the TEI Query Request
message and uses the message type of 5 for it. This makes it
impossible to differentiate the DLC Status request from a TEI Query
Request.
This document updates [RFC4233].
2. Conventions Used in This Document
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
3. New Message Type of the TEI Query Message
This document updates [RFC4233] by introducing the following change:
Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI) Query messages MUST be encoded
with a message type of 8 instead of 5 as described in [RFC4233].
4. IANA Considerations
In the "Message Types" section of the "Signaling User Adaptation
Layer Assignments" registry, IANA has reserved the message type 8 of
Management Messages for Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI) Query
Request messages.
5. Security Considerations
This document does not require any security considerations in
addition to the ones given in [RFC4233].
6. Acknowledgments
The authors wish to thank Jon Peterson and Christian Vogt for their
invaluable comments.
