IANA Registries for LSP Ping Code Points
Abstract
RFCs 4379 and 6424 created name spaces for Multi-Protocol Label
Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping. However, those RFCs
did not create the corresponding IANA registries for Downstream
Mapping object Flags (DS Flags), Multipath Types, Pad TLVs, and
Interface and Label Stack Address Types.
There is now a need to make further code point allocations from these
name spaces. This document updates RFCs 4379 and 6424 in that it
creates IANA registries for that purpose.

1. Introduction
[RFC4379] and [RFC6424] created name spaces for MPLS LSP Ping.
However, those RFCs did not create the corresponding IANA registries
for DS Flags, Multipath Types, Pad TLVs, and Interface and Label
Stack Address Types.
There is now a need to make further code point allocations from these
name spaces. In particular, [ENTROPY-LSP-PING] and [LSP-PING-LAG]
request new DS Flags and Multipath Type allocations.
This document updates [RFC4379] and [RFC6424] in that it creates IANA
registries for that purpose.
Note that "DS Flags" and "Multipath Type" are fields included in two
TLVs defined in the "Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label
Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters - TLVs" registry: Downstream
Mapping (DEPRECATED) (value 2) and Downstream Detailed Mapping (value
20). Modification to either registry will affect both TLVs.

RFC 7537 IANA Registries for LSP Ping May 2015
2. IANA Considerations
Per this document, IANA has created new registries within the "Multi-
Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping
Parameters" [IANA-MPLS-LSP-PING] registry to maintain DS Flags,
Multipath Types, Pad TLVs, and Interface and Label Stack Address
Types fields. The registry names and initial values are described in
the immediate subsections that follow.
2.1. DS Flags
[RFC4379] defines the Downstream Mapping (DSMAP) TLV, which has Type
2 assigned from the "Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label
Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters - TLVs" registry.
[RFC6424] defines the Downstream Detailed Mapping (DDMAP) TLV, which
has Type 20 assigned from the "Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)
Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters - TLVs" registry.
DSMAP has been deprecated by DDMAP, but both TLVs share a field: DS
Flags.
IANA has created and now maintains a registry entitled "DS Flags".
The registration policy for this registry is Standards Action
[RFC5226].
IANA has made the following initial assignments:
Registry Name: DS Flags
Bit number Name Reference
---------- ---------------------------------------- ---------
7 N: Treat as a Non-IP Packet RFC 4379
6 I: Interface and Label Stack Object Request RFC 4379
5-0 Unassigned
2.2. Multipath Types
IANA has created and now maintains a registry entitled "Multipath
Types".
The registration policies [RFC5226] for this registry are as follows:
0-250 Standards Action
251-254 Experimental Use
255 Standards Action
Decraene, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
^L
RFC 7537 IANA Registries for LSP Ping May 2015
IANA has made the following initial assignments:
Registry Name: Multipath Types
Value Meaning Reference
---------- ---------------------------------------- ---------
0 no multipath RFC 4379
1 Unassigned
2 IP address RFC 4379
3 Unassigned
4 IP address range RFC 4379
5-7 Unassigned
8 Bit-masked IP address set RFC 4379
9 Bit-masked label set RFC 4379
10-250 Unassigned
251-254 Experimental Use This document
255 Reserved This document
2.3. Pad Type
IANA has created and now maintains a registry entitled "Pad Types".
The registration policies [RFC5226] for this registry are:
0-250 Standards Action
251-254 Experimental Use
255 Standards Action
IANA has made the following initial assignments:
Registry Name: Pad Types
Value Meaning Reference
---------- ---------------------------------------- ---------
0 Reserved This document
1 Drop Pad TLV from reply RFC 4379
2 Copy Pad TLV to reply RFC 4379
3-250 Unassigned
251-254 Experimental Use This document
255 Reserved This document

2.4. Interface and Label Stack Address Type
IANA has created and now maintains a registry entitled "Interface and
Label Stack Address Types".
The registration policies [RFC5226] for this registry are:
0-250 Standards Action
251-254 Experimental Use
255 Standards Action
IANA has made the following initial assignments:
Registry Name: Interface and Label Stack Address Types
Value Meaning Reference
---------- ---------------------------------------- ---------
0 Reserved This document
1 IPv4 Numbered RFC 4379
2 IPv4 Unnumbered RFC 4379
3 IPv6 Numbered RFC 4379
4 IPv6 Unnumbered RFC 4379
5-250 Unassigned
251-254 Experimental Use This document
255 Reserved This document
3. Security Considerations
This document simply creates IANA registries for code points defined
in [RFC4379] and [RFC6424]. Thus, there are no new security
concerns.
