Request to Move RFC 2754 to Historic Status

Overview

RFC 6254, “Request to Move RFC 2754 to Historic Status”, is an Informational document published in May 2011 by M. McFadden. It obsoletes RFC 2754. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

RFC 2754 requested that each time IANA made an address assignment, it was to create appropriate inetnum and as-block objects and digitally sign them. The purpose was to distribute the IANA-held public key in software implementations of the Distributed Routing Policy System. In practice, this was never done on the public Internet. This document requests that RFC 2754 be moved to Historic status. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
