Moving Generic Associated Channel (G-ACh) IANA Registries
to a New Registry
Abstract
RFC 5586 generalized the applicability of the pseudowire Associated
Channel Header (PW-ACH) into the Generic Associated Channel G-ACh.
However, registries and allocations of G-ACh parameters had been
distributed throughout different, sometimes unrelated, registries.
This document coalesces these into a new "Generic Associated Channel
(G-ACh) Parameters" registry under the "Multiprotocol Label Switching
Architecture (MPLS)" heading. This document updates RFC 5586.
This document also updates RFCs 6374, 6378, 6427, and 6428.

1. Introduction
RFC 5586 generalized the PW-ACH into the G-ACh. However, registries
and allocations of G-ACh namespaces had been distributed throughout
different registries. This document coalesces these into a new
"Generic Associated Channel (G-ACh) Parameters" registry in the
"Multiprotocol Label Switching Architecture (MPLS)" name space. This
reorganization achieves two purposes: it allocates the G-ACh
registries in their natural place in the MPLS names space, and it
provides a single view of the G-ACh registries, to simplify future
assignments and avoid potential conflicts. This is an update to RFC
5586 [RFC5586].

Further, the "Pseudowire Associated Channel Types" registry is
renamed to "Generalized Associated Channel (G-ACh) Types (including
Pseudowire Associated Channel Types)" to make its generalized status
explicit, and it is moved into the newly created registry.
Additionally, RFC 6374 [RFC6374], RFC 6378 [RFC6378], RFC 6427
[RFC6427], and RFC 6428 [RFC6428] specify allocations within the
G-ACh that are now moved into the new registry.
