[mpls] [IANA #1175554] Re: draft-tgraf-ipfix-mpls-sr-label-type

[Sabrina Tanamal via RT <[e-mail]>]

Hi Loa, 

The IPFIX Information Elements registry is unique in that it has a "Requester" column. The requester is the document that makes the registration (if there is a document), but the "References" section can point to any document.

When the IE Doctors reviewed version 01 in March, they specifically asked that references to RFC8667 and RFC8665 be added for the two IPFIX MPLS label type (Value 46) registrations, which at that point weren't associated with any references. Because that registry has only a "Reference" column and no "Requester" column, those registrations may not refer to this document at all (which is not uncommon). However, we could ask the IE Doctors whether these registrations should also refer to this document.

This will have to be reviewed by the IE Doctors again at some point, as they've added several registrations.

Best regards, 

Sabrina Tanamal
