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 manage 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.
