       IANA Registrations for the BGP Finite State Machine (FSM)
                     draft-ietf-idr-bgp-fsm-iana-00

Abstract

   The Border Gateway Protocol, version 4 (BGP-4) finite state machine
   (FSM) is defined in RFC 4271.  Over the years, various extensions to
   BGP have been authored that update the protocol's FSM.  Some elements
   of the FSM are enumerated.  Those elements are referred to across BGP
   extensions in their respective state machine changes, and may also be
   used for management purposes in things such as YANG (RFC 7950).

   To provide consistent naming and enumeration of these FSM elements,
   this document requests IANA to create and maintain registries for
   elements in the BGP FSM.

1.  Introduction

   Section 8 of [RFC4271] defines BGP's finite state machine (FSM).
   Some elements of the FSM are enumerated.  These include:

   *  Session attributes (variables), which may be:

      -  Mandatory and MUST be supported by all BGP-4 implementations on
         all BGP connections.

      -  Optional and MAY be supported, either per connection or per
         local system.

   *  Events, which may be:

      -  Administrative events.

      -  Timer events.

      -  TCP connection-based events.

Internet-Draft          IANA Registry for BGP FSM               May 2024

      -  BGP message-based events.

   While the core FSM is defined in [RFC4271], extensions specified in
   other BGP documents may update FSM procedures.  Consistent
   enumeration and naming of these FSM elements is necessary for
   procedural clarity.  Additionally, management mechanisms such as YANG
   [RFC7950] modules may expose BGP protocol state covered by these
   elements.

   This document requests IANA to create and maintain appropriate
   registries for these FSM elements.

1.1.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

2.  IANA Considerations

2.1.  BGP-4 FSM Elements Registry

   IANA is requested to create a new registry, titled, "BGP-4 Finite
   State Machine (FSM) Elements".  The registration policy for the
   contents of this registry and its sub-registries shall be "IETF
   Review with Designated Experts".  The designated experts for these
   registries are the IDR chairs.

   The "BGP-4 Finite State Machine (FSM) Elements" registry will contain
   the following sub-registries:

2.2.  BGP-4 FSM Session Attribute Sub-Registries

   The BGP-4 FSM Session Attribute Sub-Registries will consist of
   entries with the following fields:

   *  Value
   *  Name
   *  Reference
