Abstract:
Many protocols make use of points of extensibility that use constants
to identify various protocol parameters. To ensure that the values
used in these fields do not have conflicting uses, and to promote
interoperability, their allocation is often coordinated by a central
authority. For IETF protocols, that role is filled by the Internet
Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
To make assignments in a given namespace prudently, IANA needs
guidance describing the conditions under which new values should be
assigned, as well as when and how modifications to existing values
can be made. This document defines a framework for the documentation
of these guidelines by specification authors, in order to assure that
the guidance given to IANA is clear and addresses the various issues
that are likely in the operation of a registry.
This is the third edition, and obsoletes RFC 5226.
