+ Guidelines and Registration Procedures for Interface Types and Tunnel
+ Types
+
+Abstract
+
+ This document provides guidelines and procedures for those who are
+ defining, registering, or evaluating definitions of new interface
+ types ("ifType" values) and tunnel types. The original definition of
+ the IANA interface type registry predated the use of IANA
+ Considerations sections and YANG modules, so some confusion arose
+ over time. Tunnel types were added later, with the same requirements
+ and allocation policy as interface types. This document updates RFC
+ 2863 and provides updated guidance for these registries.

+
+1. Introduction
+
+ The IANA IfType-MIB, which contains the list of interface type
+ (ifType) values, was originally defined in [RFC1573] as a separate
+ MIB module together with the Interfaces Group MIB (IF-MIB) module.
+ The IF-MIB module was subsequently updated and is currently specified
+ in [RFC2863], but the latest IF-MIB RFC no longer contains the IANA
+ IfType-MIB. Instead, the IANA IfType-MIB is maintained by IANA as a
+ separate module. Similarly, [RFC7224] created an initial IANA
+ Interface Type YANG Module, and the current version is maintained by
+ IANA.
+
+ The current IANA IfType registry is at [ifType-registry], with the
+ same values also appearing in both [yang-if-type] and the IANAifType
+ textual convention at [IANAifType-MIB].
+
+ Although the ifType registry was originally defined in a MIB module,
+ the assignment and use of interface type values are not tied to MIB
+ modules or any other management mechanism. An interface type value
+ can be used as the value of a data model object (MIB object, YANG
+ object, etc.), as part of a unique identifier of a data model for a
+ given interface type (e.g., in an OID), or simply as a value exposed
+ by local APIs or UIs on a device.
+
+ The TUNNEL-MIB was defined in [RFC2667] (now obsoleted by [RFC4087]),
+ which created a tunnelType registry ([tunnelType-registry] and the
+ IANAtunnelType textual convention at [IANAifType-MIB]), and it
+ defined the assignment policy for tunnelType values to always be
+ identical to the policy for assigning ifType values.
+
+2. Terminology
+
+ The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
+ "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
+ "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
+ 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
+ capitals, as shown here.
+
+3. Problems
+
+ This document addresses the following issues:
+
+ 1. As noted in Section 1, the original guidance was written with
+ wording specific to MIB modules; accordingly, some confusion has
+ resulted when using YANG modules. This document clarifies that
+ ifTypes and tunnelTypes are independent from the type of, or even
+ existence of, a data model.
+
+ 2. The use of and requirements around sub-layers and sub-types were
+ not well understood, but good examples of both now exist. This
+ is discussed in Section 4.
+
+ 3. Since the "Interface Types (ifType)" and "Tunnel Types
+ (tunnelType)" registries were originally defined, and are still
+ retrievable, in the format of MIB modules (in addition to other
+ formats), confusion arose when adding YANG modules as another
+ format as to whether each is a separate registry. This is
+ discussed in Section 5.
+
+ 4. The registries are retrievable in the format of MIB and YANG
+ modules, but there was previously no process guidance written to
+ check that those formats were syntactically correct as updates
+ were made, which led to the registry having syntax errors that
+ broke tools. Section 6.1 adds a validation step to the
+ documented assignment procedure.
+
+ 5. Various documents and registries previously said to submit
+ requests via email, but a web form exists for submitting
+ requests, which caused some confusion around which was to be
+ used. This is addressed in Section 6.1.
+
+ 6. Transmission values [transmission-registry] have generally been
+ allocated as part of ifType allocation, but no guidance existed
+ as to whether a requester must ask for it or not, and the request
+ form had no such required field. As a result, IANA has asked the
+ designated expert to decide for each allocation, but no relevant
+ guidance for the designated expert has been documented. This is
+ remedied in Section 6.2.
+
+4. Interface Sub-layers and Sub-types
+
+ When multiple sub-layers exist below the network layer, each sub-
+ layer can be represented by its own row in the ifTable with its own
+ ifType, with the ifStackTable being used to identify the upward and
+ downward multiplexing relationships between rows. Section 3.1.1 of
+ [RFC2863] provides more discussion, and 3.1.2 provides guidance for
+ defining interface sub-layers. More recent experience shows that
+ those guidelines were phrased in a way that is now too restrictive,
+ since at the time [RFC2863] was written, MIB modules were the
+ dominant data model.
+
+ This document clarifies that the same guidance also applies to YANG
+ modules.
+
+ Some ifTypes may define sub-types. For example, the tunnel(131)
+ ifType defines sub-types known as "tunnelTypes", where each
+ tunnelType can have its own MIB and/or YANG module with protocol-
+ specific information, but there is enough in common that some
+ information is exposed in a generic IP Tunnel MIB corresponding to
+ the tunnel(131) ifType.
+
+ For requests that involve multiple sub-layers below the network
+ layer, requests MUST include (or reference) a discussion of the
+ multiplexing relationships between sub-layers, ideally with a
+ diagram. Various well-written examples exist of such definitions,
+ including Section 3.4.1 of [RFC3637], Section 3.1.1 of [RFC4087], and
+ Section 3.1.1 of [RFC5066].
+
+ Definers of sub-layers and sub-types should consider which model is
+ more appropriate for their needs. A sub-layer is generally used
+ whenever either a dynamic relationship exists (i.e., when the set of
+ instances above or below a given instance can change over time) or a
+ multiplexing relationship exists with another sub-layer. A sub-type
+ can be used when neither of these is true but where one interface
+ type is conceptually a subclass of another interface type, as far as
+ a management data model is concerned.
+
+ In general, the intent of an interface type or sub-type is that its
+ definition should be sufficient to identify an interoperable
+ protocol. In some cases, however, a protocol might be defined in a
+ way that is not sufficient to provide interoperability with other
+ compliant implementations of that protocol. In such a case, an
+ ifType definition should discuss whether specific instantiations (or
+ profiles) of behavior should use a sub-layer model (e.g., each vendor
+ might layer the protocol over its own sub-layer that provides the
+ missing details) or a sub-type model (i.e., each vendor might
+ subclass the protocol without any layering relationship). If a sub-
+ type model is more appropriate, then the data model for the protocol
+ might include a sub-type identifier so that management software can
+ discover objects specific to the sub-type. In either case, such
+ discussion is important to guide definers of a data model for the
+ more specific information (i.e., a lower sub-layer or a sub-type), as
+ well as the designated expert, who must review requests for any such
+ ifTypes or sub-types.
+
+4.1. Alternate Values
+
+ Another design decision is whether to reuse an existing ifType or
+ tunnelType value, possibly using a sub-type or sub-layer model for
+ refinements, or to use a different value for a new mechanism.
+
+ If there is already an entry that could easily satisfy the modeling
+ and functional requirements for the requested entry, it should be
+ reused so that applications and tools that use the existing value can
+ be used without changes. If, however, the modeling and functional
+ requirements are significantly different enough such that having
+ existing applications and tools use the existing value would be seen
+ as a problem, a new value should be used.
+
+ For example, originally different ifType values were used for
+ different flavors of Ethernet (ethernetCsmacd(6), iso88023Csmacd(7),
+ fastEther(62), etc.), typically because they were registered by
+ different vendors. Using different values was, however, seen as
+ problematic because all were functionally similar, so [RFC3635] then
+ deprecated all but ethernetCsmacd(6).
+
+ As another example, a udp(8) tunnelType value was defined in
+ [RFC2667] with the description "The value UDP indicates that the
+ payload packet is encapsulated within a normal UDP packet (e.g., RFC
+ 1234)." The Teredo tunnel protocol [RFC4380] was later defined and
+ encapsulates packets over UDP, but the protocol model is quite
+ different between [RFC1234] and Teredo. For example, [RFC1234]
+ supports encapsulation of multicast/broadcast traffic, whereas Teredo
+ does not. As such, it would be more confusing to applications and
+ tools to represent them using the same tunnel type, and so [RFC4087]
+ defined a new value for Teredo.
+
+ In summary, definers of new interface or tunnel mechanisms should use
+ a new ifType or tunnelType value rather than reuse an existing value
+ when key aspects such as the header format or the link model (point-
+ to-point, non-broadcast multi-access, broadcast-capable multi-access,
+ unidirectional broadcast, etc.) are significantly different from
+ existing values, but they should reuse the same value when the
+ differences can be expressed in terms of differing values of existing
+ objects other than ifType/tunnelType in the standard YANG or MIB
+ module.
+
+5. Available Formats
+
+ Many registries are available in multiple formats. For example, XML,
+ HTML, CSV, and plain text are common formats in which many registries
+ are available. This document clarifies that the [IANAifType-MIB],
+ [yang-if-type], and [yang-tunnel-type] MIB and YANG modules are
+ merely additional formats in which the "Interface Types (ifType)" and
+ "Tunnel Types (tunnelType)" registries are available. The MIB and
+ YANG modules are not separate registries, and the same values are
+ always present in all formats of the same registry.
+
+ The confusion stemmed in part from the fact that the IANA "Protocol
+ Registries" [protocol-registries] listed the YANG and MIB module
+ formats separately, as if they were separate registries. However,
+ the entries for the yang-if-type and iana-tunnel-type YANG modules
+ said "See ifType definitions registry" and "See tunnelType registry
+ (mib-2.interface.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.tunnelType)" respectively,
+ although the entry for the IANAifType-MIB had no such note.
+ Section 7.1 addresses this.
+
+6. Registration
+
+ The IANA policy (using terms defined in [RFC8126]) for registration
+ is Expert Review for both interface types and tunnel types. The role
+ of the designated expert in the procedure is to raise possible
+ concerns about wider implications of proposals for use and deployment
+ of interface types. While it is recommended that the responsible
+ Area Director and the IESG take into consideration the designated
+ expert opinions, nothing in the procedure empowers the designated
+ expert to override properly arrived-at IETF or working group
+ consensus.
+
+6.1. Procedures
+
+ Someone wishing to register a new ifType or tunnelType value MUST:
+
+ 1. Check the IANA registry to see whether there is already an entry
+ that could easily satisfy the modeling and functional
+ requirements for the requested entry. If there is already such
+ an entry, use it or update the existing specification. Text in
+ an Internet-Draft or part of some permanently available, stable
+ specification may be written to clarify the usage of an existing
+ entry or entries for the desired purpose.
+
+ 2. Check the IANA registry to see whether there is already some
+ other entry with the desired name. If there is already an
+ unrelated entry under the desired name, choose a different name.
+
+ 3. Prepare a registration request using the template specified in
+ Section 6.3. The registration request can be contained in an
+ Internet-Draft, submitted alone, or submitted as part of some
+ permanently available, stable specification. The registration
+ request can also be submitted in some other form (as part of
+ another document or as a stand-alone document), but the
+ registration request will be treated as an "IETF Contribution"
+ under the guidelines of [RFC5378].
+
+ 4. Submit the registration request (or pointer to a document
+ containing it) to IANA at iana@iana.org or (if requesting an
+ ifType) via the web form at <https://www.iana.org/form/iftype>.
+
+ Upon receipt of a registration request, the following steps MUST be
+ followed:
+
+ 1. IANA checks the submission for completeness; if required
+ information is missing or any citations are not correct, IANA
+ will reject the registration request. A registrant can resubmit
+ a corrected request if desired.
+
+ 2. IANA requests Expert Review of the registration request against
+ the corresponding guidelines from this document.
+
+ 3. The designated expert will evaluate the request against the
+ criteria.
+
+ 4. Once the designated expert approves a registration, IANA updates
+ [ifType-registry], [IANAifType-MIB], and [yang-if-type] to show
+ the registration for an interface type, or [tunnelType-registry],
+ [IANAifType-MIB], and [yang-tunnel-type] to show the registration
+ for a tunnel type. When adding values, IANA should verify that
+ the updated MIB module and YANG module formats are syntactically
+ correct before publishing the update. There are various existing
+ tools or websites that can be used to do this verification.
+
+ 5. If instead the designated expert does not approve registration
+ (e.g., for any of the reasons in [RFC8126], Section 5), a
+ registrant can resubmit a corrected request if desired, or the
+ IESG can override the designated expert and approve it per the
+ process in Section 3.3 of [RFC8126].
+
+6.2. Media-Specific OID-Subtree Assignments
+
+ [IANAifType-MIB] notes:
+
+ | The relationship between the assignment of ifType values and of
+ | OIDs to particular media-specific MIBs is solely the purview of
+ | IANA and is subject to change without notice. Quite often, a
+ | media-specific MIB's OID-subtree assignment within MIB-II's
+ | 'transmission' subtree will be the same as its ifType value.
+ | However, in some circumstances this will not be the case, and
+ | implementors must not pre-assume any specific relationship between
+ | ifType values and transmission subtree OIDs.
+
+ The advice above remains unchanged, but this document changes the
+ allocation procedure to streamline the process, so that an ifType
+ value and a transmission number value with the same value will be
+ assigned at the same time.
+
+ Rationale:
+
+ (1) This saves future effort if a transmission number is later
+ deemed necessary, since no IANA request is needed that would
+ then require another Expert Review.
+
+ (2) The transmission numbering space is not scarce, so there seems
+ to be little need to reserve the number for a different purpose
+ than what the ifType is for.
+
+ (3) The designated expert need not review whether a transmission
+ number value should be registered when processing each ifType
+ request, thus reducing the possibility of delaying assignment of
+ ifType values.
+
+ (4) There is no case on record where allocating the same value could
+ have caused any problems.
+
+6.3. Registration Template
+
+6.3.1. ifType
+
+ The following template describes the fields that MUST be supplied in
+ a registration request suitable for adding to the "Interface Types
+ (ifType)" registry:
+
+ Label for IANA ifType requested: As explained in Section 7.1.1 of
+ [RFC2578], a label for a named-number enumeration must consist of
+ one or more letters or digits, up to a maximum of 64 characters,
+ and the initial character must be a lowercase letter. (However,
+ labels longer than 32 characters are not recommended.) Note that
+ hyphens are not allowed.
+
+ Name of IANA ifType requested: A short description (e.g., a protocol
+ name) suitable to appear in a comment in the registry.
+
+ Description of the proposed use of the IANA ifType: Requesters MUST
+ include answers, either directly or via a link to a document with
+ the answers, to the following questions in the explanation of the
+ proposed use of the IANA IfType:
+
+ * How would IP run over your ifType?
+
+ * Would there be another interface sub-layer between your ifType
+ and IP?
+
+ * Would your ifType be vendor specific / proprietary? (If so,
+ the label MUST start with a string that shows that. For
+ example, if your company's name or acronym is xxx, then the
+ ifType label would be something like xxxSomeIfTypeLabel.)
+
+ * Would your ifType require or allow vendor-specific extensions?
+ If so, would the vendor use their own ifType in a sub-layer
+ below the requested ifType, a sub-type of the ifType, or some
+ other mechanism?
+
+ Reference, Internet-Draft, or Specification: A link to a document is
+ required.
+
+ Additional information or comments: Optional; any additional
+ comments for IANA or the designated expert.
+
+6.3.2. tunnelType
+
+ Prior to this document, no form existed for tunnelType (and new
+ tunnelType requests did not need to use the ifType form that did
+ exist). This document therefore specifies a tunnelType form.
+
+ The following template describes the fields that MUST be supplied in
+ a registration request suitable for adding to the "Tunnel Types
+ (tunnelType)" registry:
+
+ Label for IANA tunnelType requested: As explained in Section 7.1.1
+ of [RFC2578], a label for a named-number enumeration must consist
+ of one or more letters or digits, up to a maximum of 64
+ characters, and the initial character must be a lowercase letter.
+ (However, labels longer than 32 characters are not recommended.)
+ Note that hyphens are not allowed.
+
+ Name of IANA tunnelType requested: A short description (e.g., a
+ protocol name) suitable to appear in a comment in the registry.
+
+ Description of the proposed use of the IANA tunnelType: Requesters
+ MUST include answers, either directly or via a link to a document
+ with the answers, to the following questions in the explanation of
+ the proposed use of the IANA tunnelType:
+
+ * How would IP run over your tunnelType?
+
+ * Would there be another interface sub-layer between your
+ tunnelType and IP?
+
+ * Would your tunnelType be vendor-specific or proprietary? (If
+ so, the label MUST start with a string that shows that. For
+ example, if your company's name or acronym is xxx, then the
+ tunnelType label would be something like
+ xxxSomeTunnelTypeLabel.)
+
+ * Would your tunnelType require or allow vendor-specific
+ extensions? If so, would the vendor use their own tunnelType
+ in a sub-layer below the requested tunnelType, or some sort of
+ sub-type of the tunnelType, or some other mechanism?
+
+ Reference, Internet-Draft, or Specification: A link to a document is
+ required.
+
+ Additional information or comments: Optionally any additional
+ comments for IANA or the designated expert.
+
+7. IANA Considerations
+
+ This entire document is about IANA considerations, but this section
+ discusses actions taken by and to be taken by IANA. There are three
+ registries affected:
+
+ 1. Interface Types (ifType) [ifType-registry]: The registration
+ process is updated in Section 6.1, and the template is updated in
+ Section 6.3.1.
+
+ 2. Tunnel Types (tunnelType) [tunnelType-registry]: The registration
+ process is updated in Section 6.1, and the template is updated in
+ Section 6.3.2.
+
+ 3. Transmission Number Values [transmission-registry]: The
+ assignment process is updated in Section 6.2.
+
+ At the time of publication of this document, IANA is unable to
+ perform some of the actions requested below due to limitations of
+ their current platform and toolset. In such cases, IANA is requested
+ to perform these actions as and when the migration to a new platform
+ that would enable these actions is complete.
+
+7.1. MIB and YANG Modules
+
+ IANA is to complete the following to clarify the relationship between
+ MIB modules, YANG modules, and the relevant registries.
+
+ 1. The following note has been added to the IANAifType-MIB at
+ [protocol-registries]: "This is one of the available formats of
+ the Interface Types (ifType) and Tunnel Types (tunnelType)
+ registries."
+
+ 2. The note for the iana-if-type YANG module at
+ [protocol-registries] has been updated to read: "This is one of
+ the available formats of the Interface Types (ifType) registry."
+
+ 3. The note for the iana-tunnel-type YANG module at
+ [protocol-registries] has been updated to read: "This is one of
+ the available formats of the Tunnel Types (tunnelType)
+ registry."
+
+ 4. The new "Interface Parameters" category at [protocol-registries]
+ includes entries for "Interface Types (ifType)"
+ [ifType-registry], "Tunnel Types (tunnelType)"
+ [tunnelType-registry], and "Transmission Number Values"
+ [transmission-registry].
+
+ 5. Update the "Interface Types (ifType)" registry [ifType-registry]
+ to list MIB [IANAifType-MIB] and YANG [yang-if-type] as
+ Available Formats.
+
+ 6. Update the "Tunnel Types (tunnelType)" registry
+ [tunnelType-registry] to list MIB [IANAifType-MIB] and YANG
+ [yang-tunnel-type] as Available Formats.
+
+ 7. Replace the [yang-if-type] page with the YANG module content
+ rather than having a page that claims to have multiple Available
+ Formats.
+
+ 8. Replace the [yang-tunnel-type] page with the YANG module content
+ rather than having a page that claims to have multiple Available
+ Formats.
+
+ 9. In addition, [IANAifType-MIB] is to be updated as follows:
+
+ OLD:
+
+ | Requests for new values should be made to IANA via email
+ | (iana@iana.org).
+
+ NEW:
+
+ | Interface types must not be directly added to the IANAifType-
+ | MIB MIB module. They must instead be added to the "Interface
+ | Types (ifType)" registry at [ifType-registry].
+
+ (Note that [yang-if-type] was previously updated with this
+ language.)
+
+ 10. IANA has added this document as a reference in the "Interface
+ Types (ifType)", "Tunnel Types (tunnelType)", and "Transmission
+ Number Values" registries, as well as the iana-if-type YANG
+ Module, iana-tunnel-type YANG Module, and IANAifType-MIB.
+
+7.2. Transmission Number Assignments
+
+ Per the discussion in Section 6.2, [ifType-registry] has been updated
+ as follows:
+
+ OLD:
+
+ | For every ifType registration, the corresponding transmission
+ | number value should be registered or marked "Reserved".
+
+ NEW:
+
+ | For future ifType assignments, an OID-subtree assignment MIB-II's
+ | 'transmission' subtree will be made with the same value.
+
+ Similarly, the following change has been made to
+ [transmission-registry]:
+
+ OLD:
+
+ | For every transmission number registration, the corresponding
+ | ifType value should be registered or marked "Reserved".
+
+ NEW:
+
+ | For future transmission number assignments, an 'ifType' will be
+ | made with the same value.
+
+8. Security Considerations
+
+ Since this document does not introduce any technology or protocol,
+ there are no security issues to be considered for this document
+ itself.
+
+ For security considerations related to MIB and YANG modules that
+ expose these values, see Section 9 of [RFC2863], Section 6 of
+ [RFC4087], and Section 3 of [RFC8675].
