Vendor ID Payload

The Vendor ID payload, denoted V in this document, contains a vendor- defined constant. The constant is used by vendors to identify and recognize remote instances of their implementations. This mechanism allows a vendor to experiment with new features while maintaining backward compatibility.

A Vendor ID payload MAY announce that the sender is capable of accepting certain extensions to the protocol, or it MAY simply identify the implementation as an aid in debugging. A Vendor ID payload MUST NOT change the interpretation of any information defined in this specification (i.e., the critical bit MUST be set to 0). Multiple Vendor ID payloads MAY be sent. An implementation is not required to send any Vendor ID payload at all.

A Vendor ID payload may be sent as part of any message. Reception of a familiar Vendor ID payload allows an implementation to make use of private use numbers described throughout this document, such as private payloads, private exchanges, private notifications, etc. Unfamiliar Vendor IDs MUST be ignored.

Writers of documents who wish to extend this protocol MUST define a Vendor ID payload to announce the ability to implement the extension in the document. It is expected that documents that gain acceptance and are standardized will be given "magic numbers" out of the Future Use range by IANA, and the requirement to use a Vendor ID will go away.

Defined in RFC7296 section 3.12
