Delay-Tolerant Networking Bundle Protocol IANA Registries
Abstract
The Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) Research Group research group has
defined many protocols such as the Bundle Protocol and Licklider
Transmission Protocol. The specifications of these protocols contain
fields that are subject to a registry. For the purpose of its
research work, the group created ad hoc registries. As the
specifications are stable and have multiple interoperable
implementations, the group would like to hand off the registries to
IANA for official custody. This document describes the actions
executed by IANA.

1. Introduction
The DTNRG research group has defined many protocols relevant to the
DTN architecture [RFC4838] such as the Bundle Protocol [RFC5050] and
Licklider Transmission Protocol [RFC5326]. The specifications of
these protocols contain fields that are subject to a registry. For
the purpose of its research work, the group created ad hoc registries
(http://www.dtnrg.org/wiki/AssignedNamesAndNumbers). As the
specifications are stable and have multiple interoperable
implementations, the group would like to hand off the registries to
IANA for official custody. This document describes the actions
executed by IANA.
2. Treatment of Flag Fields Encoded Using SDNVs
The DTN protocols use several extensible bit flag fields that are
encoded as Self-Delimiting Numeric Values (SDNVs) as defined in
Section 4.1 of [RFC5050]. For these fields, the registry specifies
the allocation and usage of bit positions within the unencoded field.
The SDNV encoding treats the ensemble of bits in the unencoded value
as a numeric value to be encoded on transmission and decoded on
reception as described in [RFC5050].
Processing of SDNV-encoded flags is discussed in [RFC6256].
Section 4.1 of [RFC5050] specifies that implementations are not
required to handle SDNVs with more than 64 bits in their unencoded
