Sami,

Please can you confirm from which ranges in the relevant IANA registries you want these code points allocated from?

The Geneve Option Class registry is split as follows:

Range [cid:image002.gif@01D91134.013FF2C0]
Registration Procedures [cid:image002.gif@01D91134.013FF2C0]
0x0000-0x00FF
IETF Review
0x0100-0xFEFF
First Come First Served
0xFF00-0xFFFF
Experimental Use


Since this request is form an IETF document, I would assume you mean the IETF Review space, but please can you confirm?.

Sami: Yes this should be fine.

Also, for the BGP Tunnel encapsulation attribute sub-tlv registry, we have the following:

Range [cid:image002.gif@01D91134.013FF2C0]
Registration Procedures [cid:image002.gif@01D91134.013FF2C0]
1-63
Standards Action
64-125
First Come First Served
126-127
Experimental Use
128-191
Standards Action
192-252
First Come First Served
253-254
Experimental Use

Again, I assume the expectation is to allocate from the Standards Action range, but please can you confirm?

Sami: Correct.

Thanks
Matthew

WG,

There was recently consensus to request publication of this draft.

The BESS Working Group has a policy that at least one implementation must exist before progressing a standards track draft. We therefore must hold this draft for the time being awaiting any implementations.

Please notify the chairs if you are aware of any implementations.

The authors have also requested early allocation of code points for this draft. This would be needed for any implementations. Please see the IANA Considerations section, which is copied here for your convenience.

Thanks

Matthew

Hi,

Can we please get early allocation from IANA registries requested in.
