Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP):
Shared Extension Message & IANA Registry for Packet Type Allocations
Abstract
This document specifies a Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP)
shared message type for defining future extensions and conducting
experiments without consuming a LISP packet type codepoint for each
extension. It also defines a registry for LISP Packet Type
allocations, thus updating RFC 6830.

1. Introduction
The Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) base specification,
[RFC6830], defines a set of primitives that are identified with a
packet type code. Several extensions have been proposed to add more
LISP functionalities. For example, new message types are proposed in
[LISP-DDT], [LISP-MN-EXT], [LISP-BULK], [NAT-LISP], or
[LISP-SUBSCRIBE]. It is expected that additional LISP extensions
will be proposed in the future.
In order to ease the tracking of LISP message types, this document
proposes to create a "LISP Packet Types" IANA registry (see
Section 5).
Because of the limited type space [RFC6830] and the need to conduct
experiments to assess new LISP extensions, this document specifies a
shared LISP extension message type and proposes a procedure for
registering LISP shared extension sub-types (see Section 3).
Boucadair & Jacquenet Experimental [Page 2]
^L
RFC 8113 LISP Packet Type Allocations March 2017
Concretely, one single LISP message type code is dedicated to future
LISP extensions; sub-types are used to uniquely identify a given LISP
extension making use of the shared LISP extension message type.
These identifiers are selected by the author(s) of the corresponding
LISP specification that introduces a new LISP extension message type.
2. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
3. LISP Shared Extension Message Type
Figure 1 depicts the common format of the LISP shared extension
message. The type field MUST be set to 15 (see Section 5).
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|Type=15| Sub-type | extension-specific |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
// extension-specific //
// //
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 1: LISP Shared Extension Message Type
The "Sub-type" field conveys a unique identifier that MUST be
registered with IANA (see Section 5.2).
The exact structure of the 'extension-specific' portion of the
message is specified in the corresponding specification document.
4. Security Considerations
This document does not introduce any additional security issues other
than those discussed in [RFC6830].

5. IANA Considerations
5.1. LISP Packet Types
IANA has created a new protocol registry for LISP Packet Types,
numbered 0-15. The registry is initially populated with the
following values:
Message Code Reference
================================= ==== ===============
Reserved 0 [RFC6830]
LISP Map-Request 1 [RFC6830]
LISP Map-Reply 2 [RFC6830]
LISP Map-Register 3 [RFC6830]
LISP Map-Notify 4 [RFC6830]
LISP Encapsulated Control Message 8 [RFC6830]
LISP Shared Extension Message 15 [RFC8113]
The values in the ranges 5-7 and 9-14 can be assigned via Standards
Action [RFC5226]. Documents that request for a new LISP packet type
may indicate a preferred value in the corresponding IANA sections.
5.2. Sub-Types
IANA has created the "LISP Shared Extension Message Type Sub-types"
registry. No initial values are assigned at the creation of the
registry; (0-4095) are available for future assignments.
The values in the range 0-1023 are assigned via Standards Action.
This range is provisioned to anticipate, in particular, the
exhaustion of the LISP Packet types.
The values in the range 1024-4095 are assigned on a First Come, First
Served (FCFS) basis. The registration procedure should provide IANA
with the desired codepoint and a point of contact; providing a short
description (together with an acronym, if relevant) of the foreseen
usage of the extension message is also encouraged.
