Re: [ieee-ietf-coord] Coordination Gathering Needed in Prague?

Of course the IEEE Registration Authority is the authoritative source
for Ethertype assignment information. See
https://standards.ieee.org/products-services/regauth/index.html It is
somewhat of a historic accident that there is an informational listing
of historic and IETF relevant Ethertypes on the IANA web
pages...Thanks,Donald=============================== Donald E.

If you have a need for an Ethertype, you should reference RFC 7042 (Section 3) and the IANA's IEEE 802 Numbers page (https://www.iana.org/assignments/ieee-802-numbers/ieee-802-numbers.xhtml)  for more information.  Donald Eastlake (primary) and Juan Carlos Zuniga (secondary) are the IANA-designated experts for Ethertypes.
