RFC 1264 Is Obsolete
RFC 4794, “RFC 1264 Is Obsolete”, is an Informational document published in December 2006 by B. Fenner. It obsoletes RFC 1264. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
RFC 1264 was written during what was effectively a completely different time in the life of the Internet. It prescribed rules to protect the Internet against new routing protocols that may have various undesirable properties. In today's Internet, there are so many other pressures against deploying unreasonable protocols that we believe that existing controls suffice, and the RFC 1264 rules just get in the way. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
