Formally Deprecating Some IPv4 Options
RFC 6814, “Formally Deprecating Some IPv4 Options”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2012 by C. Pignataro, F. Gont. It obsoletes RFC 1385, RFC 1393, RFC 1475, RFC 1770. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
A number of IPv4 options have become obsolete in practice, but have never been formally deprecated. This document deprecates such IPv4 options, thus cleaning up the corresponding IANA registry. Additionally, it obsoletes RFCs 1385, 1393, 1475, and 1770, and requests that the RFC Editor change their status to Historic. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
