Network Working Group L. Andersson Internet-Draft Huawei Updates: 6374 (if approved) July 14, 2013 Intended status: Standards Track Expires: January 15, 2014 Moving Generic Associated Channel registries to a new name space draft-andersson-mpls-moving-iana-registries-00 Abstract When RFC 6374 "Packet Loss and Delay Measurement for MPLS Networks" were developed, the code points allocated by this RFC were mistakenly placed within the Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameter registry. This document creates a new dedicated name space for Generic Associated Channel code points and move them to a name space their own. Requirements Language 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].

Introduction RFC 6374 [RFC6374] specify protocols for delay and loss measurements. The protocols run over the Generic Associated Channel (GACh). There are four registries with code points for these protocols. These registries were mistakenly allocated within the LSP Ping Parameters namespace. This document now creates a new GACh name space and move the Loss and Delay parameter registries to the new registry. 2. Moving GACh parameters out of LSP Ping parameter registry In the "Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters" name space there are four registries that are for using the MPLS Generic Associated Channel [RFC5586]for MPLS Loss and Delay measurements [RFC6374]. The registries are: o Measurement Timestamp Type o Loss/Delay Measurement Control Code: Query Codes o Loss/Delay Measurement Control Code: Response Codes o MPLS Loss/Delay Measurement TLV Object Andersson Expires January 15, 2014 [Page 2] Internet-Draft Creating GACh registries July 2013 These registries are now moved into a new name space under the "Multiprotocol Label Switching Architecture" (MPLS) heading called "MPLS Generic Associated Channel Parameters". This is an update to RFC6374. The sub-section 9.2 in the IANA section of RFC6374 has a sentence that read: IANA has created a new "Measurement Timestamp Type" registry, with format and initial allocations as follows: This sentence is now changed to read: IANA has created a new "Measurement Timestamp Type" registry in the "MPLS Generic Associated Channel Parameters" name space, with format and initial allocations as follows: The sub-section 9.3 in the IANA section of RFC6374 has a sentence that read: IANA has created a new "MPLS Loss/Delay Measurement Control Code" registry. This sentence is now changed to read: IANA has created a new "MPLS Loss/Delay Measurement Control Code" registry in the "MPLS Generic Associated Channel Parameters" name space, with format and initial allocations as follows: The sub-section 9.4 in the IANA section of RFC6374 has a sentence that read: IANA has created a new "MPLS Loss/Delay Measurement TLV Object" registry, with format and initial allocations as follows: This sentence is now changed to read: IANA has created a new "MPLS Loss/Delay Measurement TLV Object" registry in the "MPLS Generic Associated Channel Parameters", with format and initial allocations as follows: 3. IANA Considerations IANA is requested to take the actions listed below. 3.1. Moving Loss/Delay registries Andersson Expires January 15, 2014 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Creating GACh registries July 2013 1. To create a new name space called "MPLS Generic Associated Channel Parameters" under the "MPLS Architecture" heasding. 2. To move the "Measurement Timestamp Type", the "Loss/Delay Measurement Control Code: Query Codes", the "Loss/Delay Measurement Control Code: Response Codes" and the "MPLS Loss/ Delay Measurement TLV Object" to the newly created "MPLS Generic Associated Channel Parameters" name space. 3. Not to change any of the values previously assigned in the registries that are moved. 4. The registries should be moved without any traces left in the "Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters" name space. 4. Security Considerations This document is about updating the IANA LSP Ping TLV and sub-TLV registries and it does not add any new security issues as compared to the RFC that specifies the protocol. 5.
