Introduction This memo defines various OSPF registries for IANA to set up and maintain for OSPF code points. In some cases, this memo defines ranges of code point values within these registries; each such range has a different assignment policy. The terms used in describing the assignment policies are as follows: o Standards Action o Experimentation o Vendor Private Use o Reserved Standards Action means that assignment in that range MUST only be made for Standards Track RFCs (as defined in [RFC2434]). Some of the registries defined below reserve a range of values for Experimentation. For guidelines regarding the use of such values see [RFC3692]. Values from this range MUST NOT be assigned by IANA. Further guidance on the use of the Experimentation range may be found in paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 of [RFC3692]. An implementation MAY choose to not support values from the Experimentation range. In such a case, the protocol data structure with a code point from the Experimentation range is ignored, unless other protocol machinery says how to deal with it. "Ignored" in this context means that the associated data structure is removed from the received packet before further processing, including flooding. Values set aside as Vendor Private Use MUST NOT be assigned by IANA. A protocol data structure whose code point falls in this range MUST have a disambiguating field identifying the Vendor. This identifier consists of four octets of the Vendor's SMI enterprise code (see [ENTERPRISE-NUMBERS]) in network byte order; the location of this code must be well- defined per data structure. An implementation that encounters a Vendor Private code point SHOULD check whether the enterprise code is one that it recognises; if so, the implementation MAY choose to interpret the code point and data structure. Otherwise, it SHOULD ignore the code point, unless protocol machinery says how to deal with the data structure (as defined in the previous paragraph). This allows multiple vendor private extensions to co- exist in a network. Values in the Reserved range MUST NOT be assigned until a Standards Track or Best Common Practices RFC is published defining the Kompella & Fenner Expires September 4, 2007 [Page 3] Internet-Draft IANA Considerations for OSPF March 2007 assignment policy for that range. This RFC MUST be the product of the OSPF Working Group; if the OSPF WG is terminated, then it MUST be reviewed by an Expert Reviewer designated by the IESG. 1.1. Conventions used in this document The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. 1.2. Changes from version -00 [This section to be removed before publication.] Removed misguided reference to non-existent U bit in OSPFv2 Opaque LSAs. Tightened up requirements for defining new OSPFv2 Link State (LS) Type (section 2.4) and OSPFv2 Router LSA Link Type (section 2.4.1). 1.3. Changes from version -01 [This section to be removed before publication.] Reworded experimental text as suggested by Jari Arkko and Brian Carpenter in IESG review. Added all of Section 5 to give IANA starting points for the registries to create. 2. OSPF Registries This section lists the various registries for OSPF protocol code points. Note that some of these are for OSPF, and some are specific to a particular version of OSPF; also, some registries pre-date this memo. Registries that are specific to one version of OSPF reflect the version number in the registry name (e.g., OSPFv2 Options). A registry whose name does not mention a version number applies to both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 (e.g., OSPF Packet Type). 2.1. OSPFv2 Options (Defined in section A.2 of [RFC2328], updated in section A.1 of [RFC2370]. See also [RFC3101].) Kompella & Fenner Expires September 4, 2007 [Page 4] Internet-Draft IANA Considerations for OSPF March 2007 Assignment policy: Standards Action. 2.2. OSPFv3 Options (Defined in section A.2 of [RFC2740]) Assignment policy: Standards Action. 2.3. OSPF Packet Type (both v2 and v3) (Defined in section A.3.1 of [RFC2328]) +---------+--------------------+ | Range | Assignment Policy | +---------+--------------------+ | 0 | Not to be assigned | | 1-5 | Already assigned | | 6-127 | Standards Action | | 128-255 | Reserved | +---------+--------------------+ 2.3.1. OSPF Authentication Type (Defined in section A.3.1 of [RFC2328]) (Note: this registry is called "OSPF AUTHENTICATION CODES" by IANA.) +-------------+-------------------+ | Range | Assignment Policy | +-------------+-------------------+ | 0-2 | Already assigned | | 3-247 | Standards Action | | 248-65519 | Reserved | | 65520-65535 | Experimentation | +-------------+-------------------+ 2.4. OSPFv2 Link State (LS) Type (Defined in section A.4.1 of [RFC2328]) +---------+--------------------+ | Range | Assignment Policy | +---------+--------------------+ | 0 | Not to be assigned | | 1-11 | Already assigned | | 12-127 | Standards Action | | 128-255 | Reserved | +---------+--------------------+ Kompella & Fenner Expires September 4, 2007 [Page 5] Internet-Draft IANA Considerations for OSPF March 2007 If a new LS Type is documented, the documentation MUST say how the Link State ID is to be filled in, what the flooding scope of the LSA is, and how backward compatibility is maintained. 2.4.1. OSPFv2 Router LSA Link Type (Defined in section A.4.2 of [RFC2328]) +---------+--------------------+ | Range | Assignment Policy | +---------+--------------------+ | 0 | Not to be assigned | | 1-4 | Already assigned | | 5-127 | Standards Action | | 128-255 | Reserved | +---------+--------------------+ There is no range for Vendor Private Use, as there is no space for an enterprise code to identify the Vendor. No Experimental range is defined, due to possible backwards compatibility issues. If a new Router LSA Link Type is documented, the documentation SHOULD say how the Link State ID, Link ID and Link Data fields are to be filled in, and how backward compatibility is maintained. 2.4.2. OSPFv2 Router Properties (Defined in section A.4.2 of [RFC2328], updated in [RFC3101]) This 8-bit field in the Router LSA is unnamed; it is the field immediately following the Router LSA length. Assignment policy: Standards Action. 2.5. OSPFv3 LSA Function Code (Defined in section A.4.2.1 of [RFC2740]) Kompella & Fenner Expires September 4, 2007 [Page 6] Internet-Draft IANA Considerations for OSPF March 2007 +-----------+--------------------+ | Range | Assignment Policy | +-----------+--------------------+ | 0 | Not to be assigned | | 1-9 | Already assigned | | 10-255 | Standards Action | | 256-8175 | Reserved | | 8176-8183 | Experimentation | | 8184-8191 | Vendor Private Use | +-----------+--------------------+ In an OSPFv3 LSA with LSA Function Code in the Vendor Private Use range, the first four octets following the 20 octets of LSA header MUST be the Vendor enterprise code. If a new LSA Function Code is documented, the documentation MUST include the valid combinations of the U, S2 and S1 bits for the LSA. It SHOULD also say how the Link State ID is to be filled in. 2.5.1. OSPFv3 Prefix Options (Defined in section A.4.1.1 of [RFC2740]) Assignment policy: Standards Action. 2.5.2. OSPFv3 Router LSA Link Type (Defined in section A.4.3 of [RFC2740]) +---------+--------------------+ | Range | Assignment Policy | +---------+--------------------+ | 0 | Not to be assigned | | 1-4 | Already assigned | | 5-127 | Standards Action | | 128-255 | Reserved | +---------+--------------------+ There is no range for Vendor Private Use, as there is no space for an enterprise code to identify the Vendor. No Experimental range is defined, due to possible backwards compatibility issues. 2.6. OSPFv2 Opaque LSA Type (Defined in section A.2 of [RFC2370]) Kompella & Fenner Expires September 4, 2007 [Page 7] Internet-Draft IANA Considerations for OSPF March 2007 (Note: this registry is called "OSPF Opaque LSA Option" by IANA. See also [RFC3630].) +---------+--------------------+ | Range | Assignment Policy | +---------+--------------------+ | 0 | Not to be assigned | | 1-3 | Already assigned | | 4-127 | Standards Action | | 128-247 | Reserved | | 248-251 | Experimentation | | 252-255 | Vendor Private Use | +---------+--------------------+ In an OSPFv2 Opaque LSA with Opaque LSA Type in the Vendor Private Use range, the first four octets of Opaque Information MUST be the Vendor enterprise code. A document defining a new Standards Track Opaque LSA with TLVs and sub-TLVs MUST describe ranges and assignment policies for these TLVs. 2.6.1. OSPFv2 Grace LSA Top Level TLVs (Defined in Section A of [RFC3623]) +-------------+--------------------+ | Range | Assignment Policy | +-------------+--------------------+ | 0 | Not to be assigned | | 1-3 | Already assigned | | 4-255 | Standards Action | | 256-65519 | Reserved | | 65520-65527 | Experimentation | | 65528-65535 | Vendor Private Use | +-------------+--------------------+ In a Grace LSA, if a top-level TLV has a Type from the Vendor Private Use range, the Length MUST be at least four, and the first four octets of the Value field MUST be the Vendor enterprise code. 3. Acknowledgments Many thanks to Adrian Farrel and Acee Lindem for their review and comments. Kompella & Fenner Expires September 4, 2007 [Page 8] Internet-Draft IANA Considerations for OSPF March 2007 4. Security Considerations The lack of adequate IANA guidelines may be viewed as an avenue for Denial of Service attacks on IETF protocols (in this case, OSPFv2 and OSPFv3), and on the IETF Standards Process in general. This memo attempts to close this loophole for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. Authors contemplating extensions to OSPF SHOULD examine such extensions carefully, and consider whether new registries are needed, and if so, allocation policies within each registry. 5. IANA Considerations This document specifies assignment policy for several existing IANA registries and creates several more. 5.1. OSPFv2 Options Registry Section 2.1 defines the policy for allocation of bits from this registry as "Standards Action". There are only 8 bits in this field, and 6 are already assigned.
