12. IANA Considerations

This document registers three new ND option types under the subregistry "IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Option Formats":

  • Address Registration Option (33)
  • 6LoWPAN Context Option (34)
  • Authoritative Border Router Option (35)

The document registers two new ICMPv6 "type" numbers under the subregistry "ICMPv6 'type' Numbers":

  • Duplicate Address Request (157)
  • Duplicate Address Confirmation (158)

IANA has also created a new subregistry for the Status values of the Address Registration Option, under the ICMPv6 parameters registry.

Address Registration Option Status Values registry:

  • Possible values are 8-bit unsigned integers (0..255).
  • Registration procedure is "Standards Action" [RFC5226].
  • Initial allocation is as indicated in Table 2:
