The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IANA Guidance for Managing the ULE Next-Header Registry' (draft-fairhurst-ipdvb-ule-iana-07.txt) as Proposed Standard This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Brian Haberman. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-fairhurst-ipdvb-ule-iana/ Technical Summary This document proposes an update to RFC 4326 to clarify and update the allocation rules for the Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) next header registry. This registry is used by ULE and Generic Stream Encapsulation (GSE) to record the codepoints of extension headers and protocols supported by these encapsulation protocols. Working Group Summary The IPDVB working group has been closed for awhile. This document updates a registry that was created to support the ULE protocol that came out of that working group. While the working group is closed, the editor has worked with others that were active in the group to solicit reviews, and has been engaged with the other SDO participants that use this. The first version of the draft was posted to the TM-GBS reflector (used by the DVB Consortium in working on the DVB specifications), and it received feedback from the chair and Hans-Peter Lexow. Document Quality There is not a new protocol described in this document. The text describing the registry changes is very clear and unambiguous. The document quality is good.
