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

Signaling System 7 (SS7) Message Transfer Part 2 (MTP2) - User Peer-to-Peer Adaptation Layer (M2PA)
TL;DR: This document defines a protocol supporting the transport of Signaling System Number 7 (SS7) Message Transfer Part (MTP) Level 3 signaling messages over Internet Protocol (IP) using the services of the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP).
Vendor Extensions for Service Location Protocol, Version 2
TL;DR: This document specifies how the features of the Service Location Protocol, Version 2 allow for vendor extensibility safely, with no possibility of collisions, and introduces a new SLPv2 extension: The Vendor Opaque Extension.
The Transmission of IP Over the Vertical Blanking Interval of a Television Signal
TL;DR: This document describes a method for broadcasting IP data in a unidirectional manner using the vertical blanking interval of television signals, which includes a description for compressing IP headers on unid Directional networks, a framing protocol identical to SLIP, a forward error correction scheme, and the NABTS byte structures.
Outbound Route Filtering Capability for BGP-4
Yakov Rekhter,Enke Chen +1 more
TL;DR: A BGP-based mechanism that allows a BGP speaker to send to its BGP peer a set of Outbound Route Filters (ORFs) that the peer would use to constrain/filter its outbound routing updates to the speaker is defined.
Exporting Type Information for IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) Information Elements
TL;DR: This document describes an extension to the IP Flow Information Export protocol, which is used to represent and transmit data from IP flow measurement devices for collection, storage and analysis, to allow the encoding of IPFIX Information Model properties within an IPFIX Message stream.

Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels
TL;DR: This document defines these words as they should be interpreted in IETF documents as well as providing guidelines for authors to incorporate this phrase near the beginning of their document.
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).
A Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4)
Yakov Rekhter,T. Li +1 more
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.

A security architecture for the Internet protocol
TL;DR: The design, rationale, and implementation of a security architecture for protecting the secrecy and integrity of Internet traffic at the Internet Protocol (IP) layer, which includes a modular key management protocol, called MKMP, is presented.
