Les >From an operators perspective my take is what is important to be registered as is what is required today for any protocol specification with IANA is the TLV and Sub TLV codepoints that are allocated by the protocol specification being designed. That is all that is requirement for any new specification. The bit allocation for flags I think is unnecessary to be registered with IANA. Those flag details defined in the RFC protocol specification is what is implemented by the vendors. I think going down the road of registering flags bits with IANA would be a complex task and I think more room for error as two many moving parts that need to be synced and updated and could lead to discrepancies which is far worse. We just need the truth of the protocol specification which is what the implementation follows and that is based on the RFC standard protocol specification and IANA codepoints allocated for the design. https://www.iana.org/assignments/isis-tlv-codepoints/isis-tlv-codepoints.xhtml https://www.iana.org/assignments/ospfv3-parameters/ospfv3-parameters.xhtml I believe we can proceed as we have been doing for the last 20+ years. No harm no foul.
