Subject: [tsvwg] Last Call: <draft-ietf-tsvwg-iana-dscp-registry-05.txt> (IANA Assignment of DSCP Pool 3 (xxxx01) Values to require Publication of a Standards Track or Best Current Practice RFC) to Proposed Standard

The IESG has received a request from the Transport Area Working Group WG
(tsvwg) to consider the following document: - 'IANA Assignment of DSCP Pool 3
(xxxx01) Values to require Publication
of a Standards Track or Best Current Practice RFC'
<draft-ietf-tsvwg-iana-dscp-registry-05.txt> as Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-05-25. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of
the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract

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

This update to RFC2474 changes the IANA assignment method 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.
