Jari,
As an individual contributor, I am happy with the rules specified in this draft and support adoption by the working group. I was also unable to find any other RFC or draft that specified the IANA rules for the routing header Type field.

Regards,
Brian

I spoke about this a little bit in the meeting and got a few comments. But as far as I can tell, I never got any responses to my question in March on the mailing list. Perhaps this is a proper time to ask again... this is really a minor thing, but I would like to fix a bug in the IANA registries when I see one. Comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

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?
