Hi Alvaro, I am not modifying rfc7385 but rather trying to maintain backward/forward compatibility with it. The reason, I am defining additional “experimental" and “reserved” code points, is to maintain backward/forward compatibility with the rfc7385 code points. The new “experimental” and “reserved” code points (i.e., 0x7B – 0x7E, and 0x7F) are mirror images of the ones in rfc7385 (i.e., 0xFB – 0xFE, and 0xFF). If I don’t create these mirror images and leave them “unassigned”, then if somebody creates a tunnel type of 0x7B, then the corresponding composite tunnel type of that would be 0xFB which will conflict with existing code points in rfc7385 (i.e., 0xFB is defined as experimental).

RFC7385 already defines an Experimental range, why do we need another one? Same question about reserving 0x7F (if rfc7385 already reserved 0xFF). One of the reasons I’m asking is because if you’re only changing the 0x0C – 0xFA range, which is currently unassigned, the you (1) only need to include those values in this document, and (2) you don’t need to Update rfc7385: Thanks!
