Routing Header
This document specifies the IANA guidelines for allocating new
values for the Routing Type field in the IPv6 Routing Header.
This document specifies the IANA guidelines
for allocating new values for the Routing
Type field in the IPv6 Routing Header .
Previously, no IANA guidance existed for
such allocations.
New Routing Type values are allocated through IETF Review or
IESG Approval .
Note that two experimental values (253 and 254) are already
available for use .
This specification does not change the security properties of the
Routing Header. However, past experience shows that it is easy to
design routing headers that have significant problems
.
This document specifies only the IANA rules associated with the
Routing Type field.
