Licklider Transmission Protocol (LTP),
Compressed Bundle Header Encoding (CBHE),
and Bundle Protocol IANA Registries
Abstract
The DTNRG Research Group has defined the experimental Licklider
Transmission Protocol (LTP) and the Compressed Bundle Header Encoding
(CBHE) mechanism for the InterPlanetary Network ('ipn' URI scheme).
Moreover, RFC 5050 defines values for the Bundle Protocol
administrative record type. All of these fields are subject to a
registry. For the purpose of its research work, the group has
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 management. This document
describes the necessary IANA actions.

1. Introduction
The DTNRG Research Group has defined the Licklider Transmission
Protocol (LTP) [RFC5326]. LTP contains certain fields that are
subject to a registry. For the purpose of its research work, the
group has 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
management. This document describes the actions that IANA needs to
take and uses the well-known IANA policy definitions as described in
Section 4.1 of [RFC5226].
The Compressed Bundle Header Encoding (CBHE) [RFC6260] specification
defines the concepts of 'Node Number' and 'Service Number' in the
'ipn' URI scheme. In this document, we request formation of IANA
registries for these fields.
