+RFC 5871                   IPv6 RH IANA Rules                   May 2010
+
+
+1.  Introduction
+
+   This document specifies the IANA guidelines [RFC5226] for allocating
+   new values for the Routing Type field in the IPv6 Routing Header
+   [RFC2460].  Previously, no IANA guidance existed for such
+   allocations.
+
+2.  IANA Considerations
+
+   New Routing Type values are allocated through IETF Review or IESG
+   Approval [RFC5226].
+
+   Note that two experimental values (253 and 254) are already available
+   for use [RFC4727].
+
+3.  Security Considerations
+
+   This specification does not change the security properties of the
+   Routing Header.  However, past experience shows that it is easy to
+   design routing headers that have significant problems [RFC5095].
