      <t>
	This document updates RFC 5492 by making a change to the
	registration procedures for BGP Capability Codes. Specifically, the
	range formerly designated "Reserved for Private "Private Use" is divided into
	three new ranges, respectively designated as ranges: "First Come First Served",
	"Experimental Use" Use", and "Reserved".

      <t>
	The Border Gateway Protocol uses a mechanism called "Capability
	Advertisement" <xref target="RFC5492"/> target="RFC5492" format="default"/> to enable BGP peers to
	tell one another about their optional protocol extensions. These
	so-called "Capabilities" are signaled using code points called
	"Capability Codes".
</t>
      <t>
	<xref target="RFC5492"/> target="RFC5492" format="default"/> designates the range of Capability Codes
	128-255 as "Reserved for Private "Private Use". Subsequent experience has
	shown this to be not only useless, but actively confusing to
	implementors.
</t>
	implementors.</t>
      <t>
	Accordingly, this document revises the registration procedures for
	the range 128-255, as follows, using the terminology defined in <xref target="RFC8126"/>:
<?rfc subcompact="yes" ?>
</t>
<t><list style="symbols">
<t>
	128-238: First
	target="RFC8126" format="default"/>:</t>
      <dl newline="false" spacing="compact" indent="10">
        <dt>128-238:</dt>
	<dd>First Come First Served
</t>
<t>
	239-254: Experimental Use
</t>
<t>
	255: Reserved
</t>
</list></t>
<?rfc subcompact="no" ?> Served</dd>
        <dt>239-254:</dt>
	<dd>Experimental Use</dd>
        <dt>255:</dt>
	<dd>Reserved</dd>
      </dl>
      <t>
	The procedures for the ranges 1-63 and 64-127 are unchanged,
	remaining "IETF Review" and "First Come First Served" Served",
      respectively.
</t> The full range for “First Come First Served” is now 64-238.</t>
    </section>
    <section anchor="discussion" title="Discussion"> numbered="true" toc="default">
      <name>Discussion</name>
      <t>
	The reason for providing an Experimental Use "Experimental Use" range is to preserve a
	range for use during early development. Although there are few
	practical differences between Experimental "Experimental Use" and Private Use, "Private Use", the
	change both makes it clear that code points from this space should
	not be used long-term long term or in shipping products, products and reduces the
	consumption of the scarce Capability Code Codes space expended for this
	purpose. Once classified as Experimental, "Experimental Use", it should be considered
	difficult to reclassify the space for some other purpose in the
	future.
</t>
      <t>
	The reason for reserving the maximum value is that it may be useful
	in the future if extension of the number space is needed.
</t>

      <t>
    Since the range 128-255 was formerly designated Private Use, "Private Use",
    implementors may have chosen to use code points within that range prior to
    publication of this document. For this reason, a survey was conducted
    beginning August 14, 2015 (version 01 of the individual
    draft) draft <xref
    target="I-D.scudder-idr-capabilities-registry-change"/>) to find any such
    uses. A number were contributed and were used to seed <xref target="new_allocations"/>.
    target="new_allocations" format="default"/>. Of course course, there can be no
    guarantee that all uses were discovered, however discovered; however, the likelihood seems
    high that remaining uses, if any, genuinely do fall under the intended use
    of "Private Use" and are restricted to some special deployment, deployment and are not
    in wide use. Furthermore, any remaining uses would be no worse than any
    other code point collision, such as occasionally occurs with code point
    "squatting", and could be dealt with in the same manner.
