0. Abstract

   RFC1269 [RFC1269], "Definitions of Managed Objects for the
   Border Gateway Protocol (Version 3)" describes a technology
   which is no longer commonly used.  This document requests that
   RFC 1269 be moved to historic status.  

1. Details

   During a review of internet standards relating to BGP, it became
   apparent that the BGP-3 MIB, as described in RFC1269, is not
   common usage (if at all). Since this protocol has not been in
   use in the public internet for many years (it is obsoleted by
   BGP-4 [RFC1654]), it is proposed to reclassify it to historic.

2. Security Considerations

   Moving RFC1269 to historic has no known effect on the security of the
   internet.
