This document updates RFC 7854, "BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP)", by changing the registration procedures for several registries. Specifically, any BMP registry with a range of 32768-65530 designated "Specification Required" has that range redesignated as "First Come First Served".

rfc-7854 — BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP)

Extracted elements (3)

design-rationale §1

The range 32768-65530 was changed from 'Specification Required' to 'First Come First Served' because the practical difference between the two policies is smaller than the theoretical difference, and a low registration bar is desirable to avoid conflicts from use of unregistered code points ('code point squatting').

registry §2

RFC 9515 revises six BMP registries within the IANA BMP group: BMP Statistics Types, BMP Initiation and Peer Up Information TLVs, BMP Termination Message TLVs, BMP Termination Message Reason Codes, BMP Route Mirroring TLVs, and BMP Route Mirroring Information Codes. For each registry, the range 32768-65530 previously designated 'Specification Required' is redesignated 'First Come First Served'.

security-consideration §3
