Introduction Some protocols being developed or extended by the IETF make use of the ISO/IEC (International Organization for Standardization / International Electrotechnical Commission) Network Layer Protocol Identifier (NLPID). The term "NLPID" is not actually used in [ISO9577], which refers to one-octet IPIs (Initial Protocol Identifiers) and SPIs (Subsequent Protocol Identifiers). While these are two logically separate kinds of one-octet identifiers, most values are usable as both an IPI and an SPI. In the remainder of this document, the term NLPID is used for such values. The registry of NLPID values is maintained by ISO/IEC by updating [ISO9577]. The procedure specified by ISO/IEC in that document is that an NLPID code point can be allocated without approval by ISO/IEC, as long as the code point is not in a range of values categorized for an organization other than the organization allocating the code point and as long as ISO/IEC JTC1 SC6 is informed. This document provides NLPID IANA considerations. That is, it specifies the level of IETF approval necessary for a code point to be allocated for IETF use, the procedures to be used and actions to be taken by IANA in connection with NLPIDs, and related guidelines. [RFC5226] is incorporated herein except to the extent that there are contrary provisions in this document.

NLPIDs [ISO9577] defines one-octet network layer protocol identifiers that are commonly called NLPIDs, which is the term used in this document. NLPIDs are used in a number of protocols.
