6.  IANA Considerations

   This specification requires the allocation of a new type number for
   DSMIPv4 extensions, from the space of numbers for skippable mobility
   extensions (i.e., 128-255), defined for Mobile IPv4 [RFC3344] at
   http://www.iana.org/assignments/mobileip-numbers, under extensions
   appearing in Mobile IP control messages..

   This specification also creates a new subtype space for the type
   number of this extension.  The subtype values 1, 2 and 3 are defined
   in this specification, while the rest of the sub-types are reserved
   and available for allocation based on expert review.

   Finally, this specification creates a new space for the code field of
   the IPv6 prefix reply extension.  Values 0, 1, 8, and 9 are defined
   in this specification.  Values 2-7 are reserved for accept codes and
   values 10-255 are reserved for reject codes.

   Similar to the procedures specified for Mobile IPv4 [RFC3344] number
   spaces, future allocations from the two number spaces require expert
   review [RFC5226].
