George 3 Internet-Draft Time Warner Cable 4 Obsoletes: RFC3627 (if approved) October 10, 2011 5 Updates: RFC6164 (if approved) 6 Intended status: Informational 7 Expires: April 12, 2012 9 RFC3627 to Historic status 10 draft-george-6man-3627-historic-01 12 Abstract 14 This document moves RFC3627 (Use of /127 Prefix Length Between 15 Routers Considered Harmful) to HISTORIC status to reflect the updated 16 guidance contained in RFC6164 (Using 127-Bit IPv6 Prefixes on Inter- 17 Router Links). While a standards track document already supersedes 18 an informational document and therefore RFC6164 is the appropriate 19 guidance to follow when the two documents are in conflict, this links 20 the two documents so that it is clearer that the IETF has updated 21 guidance on the matter. 23 Status of this Memo 25 This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the 26 provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79. 28 Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering 29 Task Force (IETF).

Introduction 68 This document moves RFC 3627 [RFC3627] to HISTORIC status in 69 accordance with RFC 2026 [RFC2026]. It has been superseded by 70 RFC 6164 [RFC6164]. While a standards track document already 71 supersedes an informational document and therefore RFC6164 is the 72 appropriate guidance to follow when the two documents are in 73 conflict, this may not be clear to casual readers who are not 74 completely familiar with the differences in IETF document types. 75 This document adds the necessary link between the two documents so 76 that those referring to RFC3627 for guidance will see that it has 77 been obsoleted by updated guidance on the matter, thus hopefully 78 eliminating any confusion that may be present. 80 2. Acknowledgements 82 Thanks to Brian Carpenter, Bob Hinden, and Ron Bonica for guidance on 83 the matter, and to Pekka Savola and Miya Kohno and the other authors 84 of 6164 for their support. 86 3. IANA Considerations 88 This memo includes no request to IANA. 90 4. Security Considerations 92 This draft introduces no new security considerations. 94 5. References 96 5.1.
