The IESG received a request from the IANA on April 7, 2005 to review a request for a hop-by-hop option number assignment, under the terms of RFC 2780. The request is appended, for reference. The IESG declines Dr. Roberts's request for a hop-by-hop option for QOS purposes. The proposal includes significant changes to the Internet architecture including a new TCP congestion control algorithm, new requirements for IPsec security gateways and new behavior for routers. Adopting the changes to the Internet architecture contemplated by this proposal would require review and consensus within the IETF; it would be inappropriate for another standards organization to modify IETF protocols as contemplated by this proposal. Within the NSIS working group, the IETF is already actively working on solutions to QOS and to other problems identified in this specification. We believe that these efforts will lead to a preferable solution to the problems identified in this proposal. Reviewing this proposal within the IETF as an alternative to the ongoing work would be a multi-year endeavor. The IESG is pessimistic that this effort would ever achieve consensus. So, the IESG declines the assignment request and recommends against pursuing this proposal within the IETF. We encourage any interested parties to review the ongoing work within NSIS. ------------------------------------------------ From: "iana" <iana@iana.org> To: <iesg@ietf.org> Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2005 11:06:42 -0700 Subject: FW: General Request for Assignments (Roberts) IESG: The IANA has received the following request. It is possible that what Larry is looking for is a registration in section 5b of the following registry: <http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-parameters> Currently the registration rules for this registry are described in RFC 2780. Is this something we can request get "IESG Approval" via the telechats? Please advise.

It needs an option assigned of the form 011xxxxx. It must be a hop-by-hop option to be seen by the routers durring encryption.
