    IANA Allocations for Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Protocols

Status of This Memo

 This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
 Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
 improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
 Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
 and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract

 This document enumerates several common IANA allocations for use by
 Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) protocols.  The following well-known
 numbers are required: a UDP port number, an IP protocol number, and a
 link-local multicast group address.

1. Introduction

 This document enumerates several common IANA allocations for use by
 one or more protocols that conform to [RFC5444].  The following
 well-known numbers are required: a UDP port number, an IP protocol
 number, and a link-local multicast group address.  All interoperable
 protocols running on these well-known IANA allocations MUST conform
 to [RFC5444].  [RFC5444] provides a common format that enables one or
 more protocols to share the IANA allocations defined in this document
 unambiguously.

2. Conventions Used in This Document

 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
 document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

3. UDP Port Number

 MANET routers require a well-known UDP port number [IANA] to send and
 receive MANET routing protocol packets.  The title of this UDP port
 is "manet".  The value of this UDP port is 269.

4. IP Protocol Number

 MANET routers require a well-known IP protocol number [IANA] to send
 and receive MANET routing protocol packets.  The title of this IP
 protocol number is "manet".  The value of this IP protocol number is
 138.

Chakeres Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 5498 IANA Allocations for MANET Protocols March 2009

5. Link-Local Multicast Group for MANET Routers

 MANET routers require a well-known, link-local multicast address
 [RFC4291] to send and receive MANET routing protocol packets.  The
 name of the multicast address to reach link-local (LL) MANET routers
 is "LL-MANET-Routers".
 For IPv4, a well-known, link-local scope multicast address is
 required.  The address for LL-MANET-Routers is 224.0.0.109.
 For IPv6, a well-known, link-local scope multicast address is
 required.  The address for LL-MANET-Routers is FF02:0:0:0:0:0:0:6D.

6. IANA Considerations

 This document enumerates several common IANA allocations for use by
 one or more protocols that conform to [RFC5444].  Specifically, the
 following well-known numbers have been assigned: a UDP port
 (Section 3), an IP protocol number (Section 4), and a link-local
 multicast group address (Section 5).
 Action 1:
    IANA has made the following assignments in the "PORT NUMBERS"
    registry:
    sub-registry "WELL KNOWN PORT NUMBERS"
    Keyword Decimal Description     References
    ------- ------- -----------     ----------
    manet   269/udp MANET Protocols [RFC5498]
 Action 2:
    IANA has made the following assignments in the "PROTOCOL NUMBERS"
    registry:
    sub-registry "WELL KNOWN PORT NUMBERS"
    Keyword Decimal Description     References
    ------- ------- -----------     ----------
    manet   138     MANET Protocols [RFC5498]

Chakeres Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 5498 IANA Allocations for MANET Protocols March 2009

 Action 3:
    IANA has made the following assignments in the "Internet Multicast
    Addresses" registry:
    sub-registry "224.0.0.0 - 224.0.0.255 (224.0.0/24) Local Network
    Control Block"
    224.0.0.109 LL-MANET-Routers   [RFC5498]
 Action 4:
    IANA has made the following assignments in the "INTERNET PROTOCOL
    VERSION 6 MULTICAST ADDRESSES" registry:
    sub-registry "Fixed Scope Multicast Addresses"
    sub-sub-registry "Link-Local Scope"
    FF02:0:0:0:0:0:0:6D LL-MANET-Routers [RFC5498]

7. Security Considerations

 This document specifies only well-known numbers for protocols that
 conform to [RFC5444], and it not does not specify the protocols that
 carry the information across the network.  Each protocol using these
 well-known numbers may have its own set of security issues, but those
 issues are not affected by using the IANA allocations specified
 herein.
 The security issues associated with possibly operating multiple
 cooperating protocols using the same IANA assignments (e.g., UDP
 port) MUST be addressed in each protocol's specification.

8. Acknowledgements

 Callon, and Lars Eggert provided valuable input to this document.
