Update to OSPF Terminology
RFC 9454, “Update to OSPF Terminology”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2023 by M. Fox, A. Lindem, A. Retana. It updates RFC 2328, RFC 4222, RFC 4811, RFC 5243, RFC 5340, RFC 5614, RFC 5838. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document updates some OSPF terminology to be in line with inclusive language used in the industry. The IETF has designated "Guidance for NIST Staff on Using Inclusive Language in Documentary Standards" by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for its inclusive language guidelines. It is intended that all future OSPF documents use this revised terminology even when they reference the RFCs updated by this document.
This document updates RFCs 2328, 4222, 4811, 5243, 5340, 5614, and 5838.
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.
