RFC 1888 Is Obsolete
Overview
RFC 4048, “RFC 1888 Is Obsolete”, is an Informational document published in April 2005 by B. Carpenter. It obsoletes RFC 1888. It has since been updated by RFC 4548. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document recommends that RFC 1888, on Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Network Service Access Points (NSAPs) and IPv6, be reclassified as Historic, as most of it has no further value, apart from one section, which is faulty. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
