Network Working Group D. Eastlake 3rd Request for Comments: 5342 Eastlake Enterprises BCP: 141 September 2008 Updates: 2153 Category: Best Current Practice IANA Considerations and IETF Protocol Usage for IEEE 802 Parameters Status of This Memo This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract Some IETF protocols make use of Ethernet frame formats and IEEE 802 parameters. This document discusses some use of such parameters in IETF protocols and specifies IANA considerations for allocation of code points under the IANA OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier).

Introduction Some IETF protocols use Ethernet or other [IEEE] 802 related communication frame formats and parameters [IEEE802]. These include MAC (Media Access Control) identifiers and protocol identifiers. This document specifies IANA considerations for the allocation of code points under the IANA OUI. It also discusses some other IETF use of IEEE 802 code points. [RFC5226] is incorporated herein except where there are contrary provisions in this document. 1.1. Notations Used in This Document This document uses hexadecimal notation. Each octet (that is, 8-bit byte) is represented by two hexadecimal digits giving the value of the octet as an unsigned integer. Successive octets are separated by a hyphen. This document consistently uses IETF bit ordering although the physical order of bit transmission within an octet on an IEEE [802.3] link is from the lowest order bit to the highest order bit (i.e., the reverse of the IETF's ordering). In this document: "IAB" stands for Individual Address Block, not for Internet Architecture Board; "MAC" stands for Media Access Control, not for Message Authentication Code; and "OUI" stands for Organizationally Unique Identifier. "**" indicates exponentiation. For example, 2**24 is two to theShow full document text
