| IANA expert review comments | An update on this assignment: we have converged on the registry questions in the new Bundle Protocol specification, agreeing to register new BPv7 block type numbers in the existing Bundle Block Types registry rather than starting up a new registry for BPv7 block types. This means that block type numbers 2 and 3 -- originally requested for the BPsec BIB and BCB blocks -- are not available (they are used by the old Bundle Authentication Block and Payload Integrity Block), so we must assign from one of the unassigned ranges. The BPbis specification requests that block types 11 and 12 be reserved for the Block Integrity Block and Block Confidentiality Block respectively, so those are the values that I would propose we assign. My understanding is that a slightly revised BPsec Internet Draft will be posted that simply requests that IANA assign numbers for these two blocks, without specifically asking for any particular values, so in the end I think there will be no conflict. | ||
