In the context of reviewing existing IANA registries for various
protocols, we came up with a couple of missing things. The first issue
is that http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-parameters does not point
to RFC 2780 which defines the IANA rules for hop-by-hop and destination
options. This is being fixed by IANA.
The other thing that we noticed was that routing header types do not
appear to have IANA rules. While this is a really small issue, I like to
fix a bug when I see one :-) So, Scott and I wrote a draft that defines
the rules:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-arkko-ipv6-iana-routing-header
The new rule requires IETF review before allocation of a new RH type. We
have a couple of questions:
1) Does anyone know of an RFC where this would have been specified? Its
easy to miss one...
2) Are people happy with the rule in the draft?
3) Is the working group interested in adopting this document and moving
it forward?
