While the majority of the properties that allow the configuration of network connectivity are network protocol specific, there are several properties that are required in all implementations.
Future property allocations SHALL be made from the following allocation plan:
| Property ID Range | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 - 127 | Reserved for frequently-used properties |
| 128 - 15,359 | Unallocated |
| 15,360 - 16,383 | Vendor-specific |
| 16,384 - 1,999,999 | Unallocated |
| 2,000,000 - 2,097,151 | Experimental use only |
For an explanation of the data format encoding shorthand used throughout this document, see (#data-packing).
The currently assigned properties are broken up into several sections, each with reserved ranges of property identifiers. These ranges are:
| Name | Range (Inclusive) | Documentation |
|---|---|---|
| Core | 0x00 - 0x1F, 0x1000 - 0x11FF | (#prop-core) |
| PHY | 0x20 - 0x2F, 0x1200 - 0x12FF | (#prop-phy) |
| MAC | 0x30 - 0x3F, 0x1300 - 0x13FF | (#prop-mac) |
| NET | 0x40 - 0x4F, 0x1400 - 0x14FF | (#prop-net) |
| Tech | 0x50 - 0x5F, 0x1500 - 0x15FF | Technology-specific |
| IPv6 | 0x60 - 0x6F, 0x1600 - 0x16FF | (#prop-ipv6) |
| Stream | 0x70 - 0x7F, 0x1700 - 0x17FF | (#prop-core) |
| Debug | 0x4000 - 0x4400 | (#prop-debug) |
Note that some of the property sections have two reserved ranges: a primary range (which is encoded as a single byte) and an extended range (which is encoded as two bytes). properties which are used more frequently are generally allocated from the former range.
