Re: Discussed introduction of a new OXM class for the proposed GEN_TLV
fields

   - No problem to reserve an OXM class even before those fields are
   standardized


We have allocated OXM class 0x8005 for TLV value mapping (experimental for
now) in the ONF Registry
<https://rs.opennetworking.org/wiki/display/PUBLIC/ONF+Registry>.
