<span class="h1">OSPFv3 Instance ID Registry Update</span>
Abstract
This document modifies the "Unassigned" number space in the IANA
"OSPFv3 Instance ID Address Family Values" registry by dividing it in
two halves -- one half Unassigned but managed via Standards Action,
and the other Reserved for Private Use. It updates <a href="./rfc5838">RFC 5838</a>.

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-1" href="#section-1">1</a>. Introduction</span>
[<a id="ref-RFC5838">RFC5838</a>] defined the "OSPFv3 Instance ID Address Family Values"
registry for the purpose of mapping OSPFv3 Instance IDs to different
address families. The following table lists the value ranges that
were allocated for [<a href="./rfc5838" title=""Support of Address Families in OSPFv3"">RFC5838</a>] and Unassigned.
+---------+---------------------------------------------+-----------+
| Value | Description | Reference |
+---------+---------------------------------------------+-----------+
| 0 | IPv6 unicast AF | [<a href="./rfc5838" title=""Support of Address Families in OSPFv3"">RFC5838</a>] |
| 1 - 31 | Base IPv6 Unicast AF dependent on local | [<a href="./rfc5838" title=""Support of Address Families in OSPFv3"">RFC5838</a>] |
| | policy | |
| 32 | Base IPv6 Multicast | [<a href="./rfc5838" title=""Support of Address Families in OSPFv3"">RFC5838</a>] |
| 33-63 | IPv6 Multicast AFs dependent on local | [<a href="./rfc5838" title=""Support of Address Families in OSPFv3"">RFC5838</a>] |
| | policy | |
| 64 | Base IPv4 Unicast AF | [<a href="./rfc5838" title=""Support of Address Families in OSPFv3"">RFC5838</a>] |
| 65-95 | IPv4 Unicast AFs dependent on local policy | [<a href="./rfc5838" title=""Support of Address Families in OSPFv3"">RFC5838</a>] |
| 96 | Base IPv4 Multicast | [<a href="./rfc5838" title=""Support of Address Families in OSPFv3"">RFC5838</a>] |
| 97-127 | IPv4 Multicast AFs dependent on local | [<a href="./rfc5838" title=""Support of Address Families in OSPFv3"">RFC5838</a>] |
| | policy | |
| 128-255 | Unassigned | [<a href="./rfc5838" title=""Support of Address Families in OSPFv3"">RFC5838</a>] |
+---------+---------------------------------------------+-----------+
In some networks, additional OSPFv3 instances may be required to
operationally identify specific applications. This need requires a
pool of Instance IDs that the operator may locally assign for that
purpose.
For example, [<a href="#ref-OSPF-EMBED" title=""Routing for IPv4-embedded IPv6 Packets"">OSPF-EMBED</a>] describes an application in which IPv4-
embedded IPv6 addresses [<a href="./rfc6052" title=""IPv6 Addressing of IPv4/IPv6 Translators"">RFC6052</a>] are used to transport IPv4 packets
over an IPv6 network. While the IPv4-embedded IPv6 addresses do in
fact represent IPv6 destinations, it would be operationally
beneficial to be able to easily identify the specific application by
having a separate space to do so. This benefit is enabled by the
allocation of a range of Private Use Instance IDs.

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc6969">RFC 6969</a> OSPFv3 Instance ID Registry Update July 2013</span>
This document modifies the IANA "OSPFv3 Instance ID Address Family
Values" registry by designating a range as Reserved for Private Use.
For the remaining unassigned values, the registration procedure is
Standards Action.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-2" href="#section-2">2</a>. OSPFv3 Instance ID Address Family Values Registry Update</span>
The IANA "OSPFv3 Instance ID Address Family Values" registry has been
updated so that Instance IDs from 192-255 are Reserved for Private
Use [<a href="./rfc5226" title="">RFC5226</a>]. For the remaining unassigned values (128-191), the
registration procedure is Standards Action. The registry now shows:
+--------------------------+---------------+-----------------------+
| Value | Description | Reference |
+--------------------------+---------------+-----------------------+
| 128-191 | Unassigned | 192-255 |
| Reserved for Private Use | this document | Private Use [<a href="./rfc5226" title="">RFC5226</a>] |
+--------------------------+---------------+-----------------------+
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-3" href="#section-3">3</a>. IANA Considerations</span>
This document requests the modification of the "OSPFv3 Instance ID
Address Family Values" registry as described in <a href="#section-2">Section 2</a>. The
reference to [<a href="./rfc5838" title=""Support of Address Families in OSPFv3"">RFC5838</a>] has been removed from the registry for the
modified ranges.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-4" href="#section-4">4</a>. Security Considerations</span>
This document modifies an IANA registry defined in [<a href="./rfc5838" title=""Support of Address Families in OSPFv3"">RFC5838</a>]. It
does not introduce any new security issues.

Liang, Ben Campbell, Adrian Farrel, and Richard Barnes for their
