Technical Summary
This document proposes an update to RFC 4326 to clarify and update
the allocation rules for the Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation
(ULE) next header registry. This registry is used by ULE and Generic
Stream Encapsulation (GSE) to record the codepoints of extension
headers and protocols supported by these encapsulation protocols.
Working Group Summary
The IPDVB working group has been closed for awhile. This document
updates a registry that was created to support the ULE protocol that
came out of that working group. While the working group is closed,
the editor has worked with others that were active in the group to
solicit reviews, and has been engaged with the other SDO participants
that use this.
The first version of the draft was posted to the TM-GBS reflector
(used by the DVB Consortium in working on the DVB specifications),
and it received feedback from the chair and Hans-Peter Lexow.
Document Quality
There is not a new protocol described in this document. The text
describing the registry changes is very clear and unambiguous. The
document quality is good.
