Experimental RFCs
- Experimental RFCs may need to include RIR Considerations to describe the address resources that may be necessary for the experiment This section of an Experimental RFC may require some level of liaison with the RIRs.
The IETF from time to time describes experimental activities and associated requirements for resources that will be required by participants in the experiment. It is considered as being acceptable for the organisation to reference a current Experimental RFC and indicate the organisation’s participation in the experiment.
Organisations such as the IETF, who describe experimental activities as part of their standards development process, need to consider the associated Numbering Resource requirements with any proposed experiment, and under this proposal will need to liaise with the RIRs as part of the process of publishing a draft as an experimental RFC.
