This document provides guidelines and procedures for those who are
defining, registering, or evaluating definitions of new interface
types ("ifType" values) and tunnel types. The original definition of
the IANA interface type registry predated the use of IANA
Considerations sections and YANG modules, so some confusion arose
over time. Tunnel types were added later, with the same requirements
and allocation policy as interface types. This document updates RFC
2863 and provides updated guidance for these registries.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
