ACAP NUMBERS

(last updated 2001 June 25)

Registration Procedures

ACAP's usefulness comes from providing a structured storage model for
all sorts of configuration data.  However, for its potential to be
achieved, it is important that the Internet community strives for the
following goals:

   (1) Standardization.  It is very important to standardize dataset
   classes.  The authors hope that ACAP achieves the success that SNMP
   has seen with the definition of numerous standards track MIBs.

   (2) Community Review.  In the absence of standardization, it is
   important to get community review on a proposal to improve its
   engineering quality.  Community review is strongly recommended
   prior to registration.  The ACAP implementors mailing list
   <ietf-acap@andrew.cmu.edu> should be used for this purpose.

   (3) Registration.  Registration serves a two-fold purpose.  First
   it prevents use of the same name for different purposes, and second
   it provides a one-stop list which can be used to locate existing
   extensions or dataset classes to prevent duplicate work.

   The following registration templates may be used to register ACAP
   protocol elements with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
   (IANA).

7.1.     ACAP Capabilities

New ACAP capabilities MUST be registered prior to use.  Careful
consideration should be made before extending the protocol, as it can
lead to complexity or interoperability problems.  Review of proposals
on the acap implementors mailing list is strongly encouraged prior
toregistration.

   To: iana@iana.org
   Subject: Registration of ACAP capability

   Capability name:

   Capability keyword:

   Capability arguments:

   Published Specification(s):

   (Optional, but strongly encouraged)

   Person and email address to contact for further information:

7.2.     ACAP Response Codes

   ACAP response codes are registered on a first come, first served
   basis.  Review of proposals on the acap implementors mailing list
   is strongly encouraged prior to registration.

   To: iana@iana.org
   Subject: Registration of ACAP response code

   Response Code:

   Arguments (use ABNF to specify syntax):

   Purpose:

   Published Specification(s):

   (Optional, but strongly encouraged)

   Person and email address to contact for further information:

7.3.     Dataset Classes

   A dataset class provides a core set of attributes for use in a
   specified hierarchy.  It may also define rules for the dataset
   hierarchy underneath that class.  Dataset class specifications must
   be standards track or IESG approved experimental RFCs.

   To: iana@iana.org
   Subject: Registration of ACAP dataset class

   Dataset class name/attribute prefix:

   Purpose:

   Published Specification(s):

   (Standards track or IESG approved experimental RFC)

   Person and email address to contact for further information:

7.4.     Vendor Subtree

   Vendors may reserve a portion of the ACAP namespace for private use.
   Dataset class names beginning with "vendor.<company/product name>."
   are reserved for use by that company or product.  In addition, all
   attribute names beginning with "vendor.<company/product name>." are
   reserved for use by that company or product once registered.
   Registration is on a first come, first served basis.  Whenever
   possible, private attributes and dataset classes should be avoided
   in favor of improving interoperable dataset class definitions.

   To: iana@iana.org
   Subject: Registration of ACAP vendor subtree

   Private Prefix: vendor.<company/product name>.

   Person and email address to contact for further information:

   (company names and addresses should be included when appropriate)
