IANA assignments



Today, I was going through the IANA assignements for RSVP (http://www.iana.org/assignments/rsvp-parameters) and noticed what may be a problem.

The SONET/SDH FLOWSPEC C-Type (draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-sonet-sdh-08.txt) is assigned the value 3.

This is bad. The value 3 was already used in some (now expired) RSVP-TE drafts to represent the class-of-service C-Type.

The same problem exists for the SONET/SDH TSPEC.

I realize that expired drafts aren't supposed to have an impact on these kinds of decisions, but there are shipping products currently on the market that still use this C-Type.

The person responsible for this draft should make sure to choose a different value before the draft becomes an RFC.
