        RFC 8436

        Title:      Update to IANA Registration Procedures for 
                    Pool 3 Values in the Differentiated Services 
                    Field Codepoints (DSCP) Registry

The Differentiated Services (Diffserv) architecture specifies use of
the DS field in the IPv4 and IPv6 packet headers to carry one of 64
distinct differentiated services field codepoint (DSCP) values.  The
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) maintains a registry of
assigned DSCP values.

This update to RFC 2474 changes the IANA registration policy for Pool
3 of the registry (i.e., DSCP values of the form xxxx01) to Standards
Action, i.e., values are assigned through a Standards Track or Best
Current Practice RFC.  The update also removes permission for
experimental and local use of the codepoints that form Pool 3 of the
DSCP registry; Pool 2 Codepoints (i.e., DSCP values of the form
xxxx11) remain available for these purposes.

This document is a product of the Transport Area Working Group Working Group of the IETF.

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.
