RFC5513
Abstract
Three Letter Acronyms (TLAs) are commonly used to identify components
of networks or protocols as designed or specified within the IETF. A
common concern is that one acronym may have multiple expansions.
While this may not have been an issue in the past, network
convergence means that protocols that did not previously operate
together are now found in close proximity. This results in
contention for acronyms, and confusion in interpretation. Such
confusion has the potential to degrade the performance of the
Internet as misunderstandings lead to misconfiguration or other
operating errors.
Given the growing use of TLAs and the relatively small number
available, this document specifies a Badly Construed Proposal (BCP)
for the management of a registry of TLAs within the IETF, and the
procedures for the allocation of new TLAs from the registry.
