+ OSPFv3 Instance ID Registry Update
+
+Abstract
+
+ This document modifies the "Unassigned" number space in the IANA
+ "OSPFv3 Instance ID Address Family Values" registry by dividing it in
+ two halves -- one half Unassigned but managed via Standards Action,
+ and the other Reserved for Private Use. It updates RFC 5838.
+
+Status of This Memo
+
+ This is an Internet Standards Track document.

+ This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force
+ (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community. It has
+ received public review and has been approved for publication by the
+ Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Further information on

+1. Introduction
+
+ [RFC5838] defined the "OSPFv3 Instance ID Address Family Values"
+ registry for the purpose of mapping OSPFv3 Instance IDs to different
+ address families. The following table lists the value ranges that
+ were allocated for [RFC5838] and Unassigned.
+
+ +---------+---------------------------------------------+-----------+
+ | Value | Description | Reference |
+ +---------+---------------------------------------------+-----------+
+ | 0 | IPv6 unicast AF | [RFC5838] |
+ | 1 - 31 | Base IPv6 Unicast AF dependent on local | [RFC5838] |
+ | | policy | |
+ | 32 | Base IPv6 Multicast | [RFC5838] |
+ | 33-63 | IPv6 Multicast AFs dependent on local | [RFC5838] |
+ | | policy | |
+ | 64 | Base IPv4 Unicast AF | [RFC5838] |
+ | 65-95 | IPv4 Unicast AFs dependent on local policy | [RFC5838] |
+ | 96 | Base IPv4 Multicast | [RFC5838] |
+ | 97-127 | IPv4 Multicast AFs dependent on local | [RFC5838] |
+ | | policy | |
+ | 128-255 | Unassigned | [RFC5838] |
+ +---------+---------------------------------------------+-----------+
+
+ In some networks, additional OSPFv3 instances may be required to
+ operationally identify specific applications. This need requires a
+ pool of Instance IDs that the operator may locally assign for that
+ purpose.
+
+ For example, [OSPF-EMBED] describes an application in which IPv4-
+ embedded IPv6 addresses [RFC6052] are used to transport IPv4 packets
+ over an IPv6 network. While the IPv4-embedded IPv6 addresses do in
+ fact represent IPv6 destinations, it would be operationally
+ beneficial to be able to easily identify the specific application by
+ having a separate space to do so. This benefit is enabled by the
+ allocation of a range of Private Use Instance IDs.

+RFC 6969 OSPFv3 Instance ID Registry Update July 2013
+
+
+ This document modifies the IANA "OSPFv3 Instance ID Address Family
+ Values" registry by designating a range as Reserved for Private Use.
+ For the remaining unassigned values, the registration procedure is
+ Standards Action.
+
+2. OSPFv3 Instance ID Address Family Values Registry Update
+
+ The IANA "OSPFv3 Instance ID Address Family Values" registry has been
+ updated so that Instance IDs from 192-255 are Reserved for Private
+ Use [RFC5226]. For the remaining unassigned values (128-191), the
+ registration procedure is Standards Action. The registry now shows:
+
+ +--------------------------+---------------+-----------------------+
+ | Value | Description | Reference |
+ +--------------------------+---------------+-----------------------+
+ | 128-191 | Unassigned | 192-255 |
+ | Reserved for Private Use | this document | Private Use [RFC5226] |
+ +--------------------------+---------------+-----------------------+
+
+3. IANA Considerations
+
+ This document requests the modification of the "OSPFv3 Instance ID
+ Address Family Values" registry as described in Section 2. The
+ reference to [RFC5838] has been removed from the registry for the
+ modified ranges.
+
+4. Security Considerations
+
+ This document modifies an IANA registry defined in [RFC5838]. It
+ does not introduce any new security issues.
+
+5. Acknowledgements
+
+ Many thanks to Acee Lindem, Stewart Bryant, Nevil Brownlee, Pearl
+ Liang, Ben Campbell, Adrian Farrel, and Richard Barnes for their
+ review and input.
