BESS Working Group E. Rosen Internet-Draft Juniper Networks, Inc. Updates: 6514 (if approved) February 11, 2015 Intended status: Standards Track Expires: August 15, 2015 IANA Registry for P-Multicast Service Interface Tunnel Attribute Flags draft-rosen-bess-pta-flags-00.txt Abstract RFC6514 defines the "P-Multicast Service Interface Tunnel (PMSI Tunnel) attribute". This attribute contains an octet of "flags". Only one flag is defined in that RFC, but there is now a need to define additional flags. Since the RFC did not create a registry for the assignment of flag bits, this document updates the RFC by creating a registry for that purpose.

Introduction [RFC6514] defines the "P-Multicast Service Interface Tunnel (PMSI Tunnel) attribute". This attribute contains an octet of "flags". Only one flag is defined in that RFC, but there is now a need to define additional flags. Since the RFC did not create a registry for the assignment of flag bits, this document creates a registry for that purpose. 2. IANA Considerations IANA is requested to create a new registry called "P-Multicast Service Interface Tunnel (PMSI Tunnel) Attribute Flags" in the "Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Parameters" registry. Per [RFC6514] section 5, a PMSI Tunnel Attribute contains a "Flags" octet. The Flags field is a single octet, with bits numbered, left- to-right, from 0 to 7. IANA is requested to initialize the registry as follows: Rosen Expires August 15, 2015 [Page 2]
