8.1. Segment Routing Header Flags Registry

This document describes a new IANA-managed registry to identify SRH Flags Bits. The registration procedure is "IETF Review" [RFC8126]. The registry name is "Segment Routing Header Flags". Flags are 8 bits.

8.2. Segment Routing Header TLVs Registry

This document describes a new IANA-managed registry to identify SRH TLVs. The registration procedure is "IETF Review". The registry name is "Segment Routing Header TLVs". A TLV is identified through an unsigned 8-bit codepoint value, with assigned values 0-127 for TLVs that do not change en route and 128-255 for TLVs that may change en route. The following codepoints are defined in this document:

Values 1, 2, 3, and 6 were defined in draft versions of this specification and are Reserved for backwards compatibility with early implementations and should not be reassigned. Values 127 and 255 are Reserved to allow for expansion of the Type field in future specifications, if needed.
