1. Introduction
This document extends the base PCP [RFC6887] with the ability to
associate a human-readable description with a PCP-instantiated
mapping. It does this by defining a new DESCRIPTION option.
This PCP option can be used in simple scenarios with a PCP client and
PCP server, as well as in more complex scenarios where an
interworking function is used to proxy between a UPnP IGD Control
Point and a PCP server [RFC6970].
Querying the PCP server to get the description text of an existing
mapping is out of scope.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
