Abstract

   This memo specifies procedures for modifying the Resource reSerVation
   Protocol (RSVP).  This memo also lays out new assignment guidelines
   for number spaces for RSVP messages, object classes, class-types, and
   sub-objects.

1.  Introduction

   This memo specifies procedures for modifying the Resource reSerVation
   Protocol (RSVP) [RSVP], including (but not limited to) adding,
   updating, extending or obsoleting: messages, message formats and
   procedures, object classes and class types, object formats and
   procedures; header formats, error codes and subcodes and semantics,
   and procedures for sending, receiving, and addressing RSVP messages.

   IANA recognizes the following RSVP name spaces: Message Types, Class
   Names, Class Numbers, Class Types and Sub-objects, Virtual
   Destination Ports, and Error Codes and (Subcode) Values (all of these
   will collectively be referred to as RSVP entities in this document).
   This memo specifies ranges for each name space and assignment
   policies for each range.  New RSVP name spaces must be defined in a
   Standards Track RFC which include guidelines for IANA assignments
   within the new name spaces.

   The assignment policies used in this document are: Standards Action
   (as defined in [IANA]), Expert Review, and Organization/Vendor
   Private (more simply, "Vendor Private"); the last two are defined in
   this document.  The intent of these assignment policies is to ensure
