enables organizations to have implementation-specific encodings for
LCAF addresses. This document updates RFC8060. RFC 8060.

1. Introduction
The LISP Canonical Address Format (LCAF) [RFC8060] defines the format
and encoding for different address types that can be used on LISP
[I-D.ietf-lisp-rfc6830bis] [I-D.ietf-lisp-rfc6833bis] deployments.
deployments of the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) [RFC9300]
[RFC9301]. However, certain deployments require specific format
encodings that may not be applicable outside of the use-case use case for
which they are defined. This document extends [RFC8060] to introduce
a Vendor
Specific Vendor-Specific LCAF that defines how organizations can create LCAF
addresses to be used only on particular LISP implementations. This
document also updates [RFC8060] to specify the behavior when
receiving unrecognized LCAF Types. types.
2. Requirements Notation
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.
3. Unrecognized LCAF types Types
[RFC8060] does not explain how an implementation should handle an
unrecognized LCAF Type. type. This document updates [RFC8060] to specify
that any unrecognized LCAF Type type received in a LISP control plane
message MUST be ignored. If all Locators are ignored, this is
equivalent to a LISP control message with Locator Count = 0, as
described in [I-D.ietf-lisp-rfc6833bis]. [RFC9301]. If an EID-Prefix only contains unrecognized
LCAF Types, types, the LISP control message MUST be dropped and the event
MUST be logged. (Here, "EID" refers to Endpoint Identifier.)
4. Vendor Specific Vendor-Specific LCAF
The Vendor Specific Vendor-Specific LCAF relies on using the IEEE Organizationally
Unique Identifier (OUI) [IEEE.802] to prevent collisions across
vendors or organizations using the LCAF. The format of the Vendor Vendor-
Specific LCAF is provided below.
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

Figure 1: Vendor Specific Vendor-Specific LCAF
The fields in the first 8 octets of the above Vendor Specific Vendor-Specific LCAF
are actually the fields defined in the general LCAF format specified
in [RFC8060]. The "Type" Type field MUST be set to 255, the value assigned by
IANA to indicate that this is a Vendor Specific LCAF (255 is
recommended, Vendor-Specific LCAF; see Section 7). 6.
The Length field has to be set accordingly to the length of the
internal format format, plus the OUI OUI, plus the Rsvd3 fields fields, as for
[RFC8060]. The fields defined by the Vendor
Specific Vendor-Specific LCAF are: are as
follows:
Rsvd3: This 8-bit field is reserved for future use. It MUST be set
to 0 on transmit and MUST be ignored on receipt.
Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI): This is a 24-bit field
that carries an OUI or CID (Company ID) Company ID (CID) assigned by the IEEE
Registration Authority (RA) as defined by the IEEE Std 802
[IEEE.802]
Internal format: This is a variable length variable-length field that is left
undefined on purpose. Each vendor or organization can define its
own internal format(s) to use with the Vendor Specific Vendor-Specific LCAF.
The Vendor Specific Vendor-Specific LCAF type SHOULD NOT be used in deployments where
different organizations interoperate. However, there may be cases
where two (or more) organizations share a common deployment on which
they explicitly and mutually agree to use a particular Vendor Vendor-
Specific LCAF. In that case, the organizations involved need to
carefully assess the interoperability concerns for that particular
deployment. It is NOT RECOMMENDED to use an OUI not assigned to an
organization.
If a LISP device receives a LISP message containing a Vendor Specific Vendor-Specific
LCAF with an OUI that it does not understand, it MUST drop the
message and it SHOULD create a log message.
5. Security Considerations
This document enables organizations to define new LCAFs for their
internal use. It is the responsibility of these organizations to
properly assess the security implications of the formats they define.
Security considerations from [RFC8060] apply to this document.

7. IANA Considerations
Following the guidelines of [RFC8126], IANA is asked to assign a has assigned the
following value (255 is suggested) for the Vendor Specific Vendor-Specific LCAF from the "LISP Canonical
Address Format (LCAF) Types" registry (defined in
[RFC8060]) as follows:
+=========+=====================+============================+ [RFC8060]):
+=======+=====================+=====================+
| Value # | LISP LCAF Type Name | Reference |
+=========+=====================+============================+
+=======+=====================+=====================+
| TBD 255 | Vendor Specific | [This Document], RFC 9306, Section 4 |
