Updating the MPLS Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters IANA
Registry
Abstract
This document updates RFCs 8029 and 8611, both of which define IANA
registries for MPLS Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping. In particular,
the registration procedure "Private Use" (previously known as "Vendor
Private Use") has been changed to "First Come First Served" for the
TLV and sub-TLV registries.
It also updates the description of the procedures for the responses
sent when an unknown or erroneous code point is found. The updates
are to clarify and align this namespace with recent developments,
e.g., aligning terminology with RFC 8126 instead of the now obsoleted
RFC 5226 (both titled "Guidelines for Writing an IANA Considerations
Section in RFCs").

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:
* "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]
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 in Section 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 any
of 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 found in [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
3.3. Changes to the LSP Ping Registries
This section lists the changes to each MPLS LSP Ping TLV and sub-TLV
registry. Sections 6.2.1 to 6.2.7 describe how the new versions of
the IANA registries should look, together with the registration
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; see Section 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 to the table of registration
procedures.
* Two small sets of code points (four code points each) for
Experimental Use have been created. The first set is for the
range that requires a response if the TLV or sub-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 "RFC Required", 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 Section 3 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 that MUST 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 implementation MAY 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.
In Section 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 that MAY 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
Section 13.4.1 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.

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.
See Section 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 Sections 6.1 and 6.2.
6.1. Updates by IANA to the Message Types, Reply Modes, and Return
Codes Registries

Table 8: Assignments for the Return Codes Registry
Note 1: Notes [1] and [2] for code points 5, 6, and 14 point to
footnotes in the "Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label
Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters" namespace. The footnotes
are not changed by this document.
Note 2: <RSC> stands for "Return Subcode" and is explained in
Section 3.1 of [RFC8029].
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:

This section describes the new registration procedures and the
assignments for the "Sub-TLVs for TLV Type 23" [IANA-Sub-23]
subregistry that are based on them.
* The "Specification Required" registration procedure has been
changed to "RFC Required", and the comment "Experimental RFC
Required" has been removed.
* The code points registration procedure "Vendor Private Use" has
been removed and replaced with "First Come First Served" code
points.
* 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 sub-TLV is
not recognized.
