Abstract:

   This document creates a new IANA registry (called the Post-stack
   First Nibble registry) for the first nibble (4-bit field) immediately
   following an MPLS label stack.  Furthermore, this document sets out
   some documentation requirements for registering new values, and
   requirements that make processing MPLS packets easier and more
   robust.

   The relationship between the IANA IP Version Numbers (RFC 2780) and
   the Post-stack First Nibble registry is described in this document.

   This document updates RFC 4928 by deprecating the heuristic method
   for identifying the type of packet encapsulated in MPLS.
