<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-1" href="#section-1">1</a>.  Introduction</span>

   This document provides guidance to the Internet Assigned Numbers
   Authority (IANA) regarding the registration of values related to the
   PPP over Ethernet Protocol (PPPoE), defined in [<a href="./rfc2516" title="&quot;A Method for Transmitting PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE)&quot;">RFC2516</a>], in
   accordance with <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/bcp/bcp26">BCP 26</a>, [<a href="./rfc2434" title="">RFC2434</a>].  It also reserves PPPoE TAG values
   as well as PPPoE packet Code fields, which are or have been in use on
   the Internet.

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-1.1" href="#section-1.1">1.1</a>.  Terminology</span>

   The following terms are used here with the meanings defined in <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/bcp/bcp26">BCP</a>
   <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/bcp/bcp26">26</a>:  "name space", "registration".

   The following policies are used here with the meanings defined in <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/bcp/bcp26">BCP</a>
   <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/bcp/bcp26">26</a>: "First Come First Served".

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-1.2" href="#section-1.2">1.2</a>.  Specification of Requirements</span>

   In this document, several words are used to signify the requirements
   of the specification.  These words are often capitalized.  The key
   words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD",
   "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document
   are to be interpreted as described in [<a href="./rfc2119" title="&quot;Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels&quot;">RFC2119</a>].

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-2" href="#section-2">2</a>.  IANA Considerations</span>

   The PPPoE protocol, as defined in [<a href="./rfc2516" title="&quot;A Method for Transmitting PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE)&quot;">RFC2516</a>], defines two name spaces
   that require registration, the PPPoE TAG and the PPPoE Code field.

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-2.1" href="#section-2.1">2.1</a>.  Registration Policies for PPPoE TAG Values</span>

   IANA has set up a registry of "PPPoE TAG Values".  These are 16-bit
   values.  PPPoE TAG values already in use are specified as reserved in
   this document.  All other TAG values between 0 and 65535 are to be
   assigned by IANA, using the "First Come First Served" policy defined
   in [<a href="./rfc2434" title="">RFC2434</a>].

   A TAG-Name and a description for the usage, as well as a point of
   contact, MUST be provided for any assignment from this registry.  A
   document reference SHOULD also be provided.

   IANA has set up a registry of PPPoE Active Discovery Code fields.
   These are 8-bit values.  PPPoE Code fields already in use are
   specified as reserved in this document.  All other Code values
   between 0 and 255 are to be assigned by IANA, using the "First Come
   First Served" policy defined in [<a href="./rfc2434" title="">RFC2434</a>].

   A PPPoE Active Discovery packet name and a description for the usage,
   as well as a point of contact, MUST be provided for any assignment
   from this registry.

   A document reference SHOULD also be provided.

   This document focuses on IANA considerations for the PPPoE protocol,
   and as such, should help remove the possibility of the same PPPoE
   code field and PPPoE TAG value being used for different
   functionalities.
