The IESG has received a request from the Transport Area Working Group WG (tsvwg) to consider the following document: - 'IANA Assignment of DSCP Pool 3 (xxxx01) Values to require Publication of a Standards Track or Best Current Practice RFC' <draft-ietf-tsvwg-iana-dscp-registry-05.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-05-25. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The Differentiated Services (Diffserv) architecture specifies use of a field in the IPv4 and IPv6 packet headers to carry Diffserv Codepoint (DSCP) values. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) maintains a registry of assigned DSCP values. This update to RFC2474 changes the IANA assignment method for Pool 3 of the registry (i.e., DSCP values of the form xxxx01) to Standards Action, i.e., values are assigned through a Standards Track or Best Current Practice RFC. The update also removes permission for experimental and Local Use of the Codepoints that form Pool 3 of the DSCP registry; Pool 2 Codepoints (i.e., DSCP values of the form xxxx11) remain available for these purposes. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tsvwg-iana-dscp-registry/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tsvwg-iana-dscp-registry/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references. See RFC 3967 for additional information: rfc3260: New Terminology and Clarifications for Diffserv (Informational - IETF stream)
