RFC 9542: IANA Considerations and IETF Protocol and Documentation Usage for IEEE 802 Parameters

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

Some IETF protocols make use of Ethernet frame formats and IEEE 802 parameters. This document discusses several aspects of such parameters and their use in IETF protocols, specifies IANA considerations for assignment of points under the IANA Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI), and provides some values for use in documentation. This document obsoletes RFC 7042.
