IEEE RAC registration request tracking

The table below tracks registration requests to be made to IEEE RAC (Registration Authority Technical Review Committee). Applications for new entries must be made by the specifications rapporteur via email to the 3GPP Specifications manager.

When requesting a new registration type the following information has to be provided in the new request to IEEE RAC:

  1. Has the new protocol been developed and tested in accordance with clause 9 and especially clause 9.2.3 and Figure 12 of IEEE Std 802-2014, IEEE Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks: Overview and Architecture?
  2. Does ETSI have any existing Ethertype assignments?
    1. Does the existing use of the original assignment support sub-typing?
    2. Does the current applicant/working group know who is currently responsible for maintenance of the previously assigned Ethertype?
    3. Has the current applicant/working group considered using sub-typing of the older Ethertype for the new use under application?
    4. Given the above, why is a new Ethertype needed?
  3. Have the full provisions of Figure 12 for the “Protocol identification field” in the prototype protocol been preserved in the final version of the protocol for which the new EtherType is being requested?
  4. What provisions have been made for maintaining and assigning sub-types going forward within ETSI? Please provide an example of the first 10 bytes/octets as an example.
