This clause describes rules and mechanisms for interested parties to extend IEEE Std 2030.5 with proprietary extensions.
It should be noted that as IEEE Std 2030.5 is intended to run over an IP stack, many techniques already exist for providing proprietary services over such a stack with various protocols. This clause is intended for guidance to developers of proprietary extensions who want a design similar to IEEE Std 2030.5, or wish to add extended elements to IEEE Std 2030.5.
