TLDR
In this article, the authors discuss issues that should be considered in formulating a policy for assigning values to a name space and provide guidelines to document authors on the specific text that must be included in documents that place demands on the IANA.Abstract:
Many protocols make use of identifiers consisting of constants and other well-known values. Even after a protocol has been defined and deployment has begun, new values may need to be assigned (e.g., for a new option type in DHCP, or a new encryption or authentication algorithm for IPSec). To insure that such quantities have consistent values and interpretations in different implementations, their assignment must be administered by a central authority. For IETF protocols, that role is provided by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). In order for the IANA to manage a given name space prudently, it needs guidelines describing the conditions under which new values can be assigned. If the IANA is expected to play a role in the management of a name space, the IANA must be given clear and concise instructions describing that role. This document discusses issues that should be considered in formulating a policy for assigning values to a name space and provides guidelines to document authors on the specific text that must be included in documents that place demands on the IANA.read more

Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Procedures for the Management of the Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry
TL;DR: This document defines the procedures that the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) uses when handling registration and other requests related to the transport protocol port number and service name registry and updates RFC2782 to clarify what a service name is and how it is registered.
Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Rendezvous Extension
Julien Laganier,Lars Eggert +1 more
TL;DR: The rendezvous extension extends HIP and the HIP registration extension for initiating communication between HIP nodes via HIP rendezvous servers to improve reachability and operation when HIP nodes are multi-homed or mobile.

Security Architecture for the Internet Protocol
TL;DR: This document describes an updated version of the "Security Architecture for IP", which is designed to provide security services for traffic at the IP layer, and obsoletes RFC 2401 (November 1998).

TL;DR: This document, together with its companion document, "Application of the Border Gateway Protocol in the Internet", define an inter- autonomous system routing protocol for the Internet.
Internet Protocol
TL;DR: Along with TCP, IP represents the heart of the Internet protocols and has two primary responsibilities: providing connectionless, best-effort delivery of datagrams through an internetwork; and providing fragmentation and reassembly of data links to support data links with different maximum transmission unit (MTU) sizes.
