RFC 9650
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) T. Li Request for Comments: 9650 Juniper Networks Updates: 5029 August 2024 Category: Standards Track ISSN: 2070-1721 Revision to Registration Procedures for IS-IS Neighbor Link-Attribute Bit Values Abstract RFC 5029, "Definition of an IS-IS Link Attribute Sub-TLV", defines an IANA registry called "IS-IS Neighbor Link-Attribute Bit Values". This document changes the registration procedure for that registry from "Standards Action" to "Expert Review". This document updates RFC 5029. Status of This Memo This is an Internet Standards Track document. This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community. It has received public review and has been approved for publication by the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Further information on Internet Standards is available in Section 2 of RFC 7841.

Introduction [RFC5029] defines the "IS-IS Neighbor Link-Attribute Bit Values" registry and specifies a registration procedure of "Standards Action". In practice, this registration procedure is unnecessarily restrictive, as it prevents allocation of bits to experimental protocols, which in turn increases the risk of conflicts introduced by use of unregistered code points (so-called "code point squatting"). Accordingly, this document changes the registration procedure for the registry, as described in Section 2. 2. IANA Considerations IANA has changed the registration procedure for the "IS-IS Neighbor Link-Attribute Bit Values" registry to "Expert Review" [RFC8126] and has listed this document as a reference for the registry. General guidance for the designated experts is defined in [RFC7370], and more specific guidance can be found in [RFC5029]. 3. Security Considerations This document does not affect the security issues discussed in [RFC5029]. 4. References 4.1. Normative References [RFC5029] Vasseur, JP. and S.
