Abstract
The goal of this memo is to create a new IANA registry (called the MPLS First Nibble registry) for the first nibble (4-bit field) immediately following an MPLS label stack. The memo offers a rationale for such a registry, describes how the registry should be managed, and provides some initial entries. Furthermore, this memo sets out some documentation requirements for registering new values. Finally, it provides some recommendations that make processing MPLS packets easier and more robust. The relationship between the IANA IP Version Numbers and the MPLS First Nibble registry is described in this document. This memo, if published, would update [RFC4928].
