The current two values we defined in the draft are used to distinct measurement results that are using different jitter buffer method. If we don't have any new value to be defined, we don't need to resort to IANA Registry, if we do have many new values that need to be defined, I think IANA Registry is the right approach.


I disagree. If this is an expected extension point of the protocol, then you need an IANA registry. Otherwise, mark the bits as reserved, and let someone revise the RFC if they need to extend it.
