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 (RFC 2780) and the Post-stack First Nibble registry is described in this document. This document updates RFC 4928 by deprecating the heuristic method for identifying the type of packet encapsulated in MPLS.}, }
