 Revision to Registration Procedures for IS-IS Neighbor Link-Attribute
                               Bit Values
                   draft-li-lsr-labv-registration-01

Abstract

   RFC 5029, "Definition of an IS-IS Link Attribute Sub-TLV", defines a
   registry for "IS-IS Neighbor Link-Attribute Bit Values".  This
   document changes the registration procedure for that registry from
   "Standards Action" to "Expert Review".

1.  Introduction

   [RFC5029] defines the "IS-IS Neighbor Link-Attribute Bit Values"
   registry and specifies a registration procedure of "Standards
   Action".  In practice, this registration procedure is unnecessarily
   restrictive, as it prevents allocation of bits to experimental
   protocols, which in turn increases the risk of conflicts introduced
   by use of unregistered code points (so-called "code point
   squatting").

   Accordingly, this document changes the registration procedure for the
   registry, as described in Section 2.

2.  IANA Considerations

   The registration procedure for the "IS-IS Neighbor Link-Attribute Bit
   Values" registry is changed to be "Expert Review".

3.  Security Considerations

   This document does not affect the security issues discussed in RFC
   5029.

4.  Acknowledgements

   The author would like to thank John Scudder for his contributions.
