Introduction 64 The Endpoint Identification option (hex value 0x8a) [EID-OPTION] was 65 meant to be used with the Nimrod routing architecture [NIMROD-DOC], 66 but has never seen widespread deployment. Therefore, this document 67 instructs IANA to change the "Destination Options and Hop-by-Hop 68 Options" registry [IANA-IPV6-PARAMETERS] accordingly, marking option 69 0x8a as "Obsolete". 71 2. Security Considerations 73 This document has no security implications. 75 RFC Editor: Please remove this section before publication. 77 3. IANA Considerations 79 IANA is requested to mark option 0x8a in the "Destination Options and 80 Hop-by-Hop Options" registry [IANA-IPV6-PARAMETERS] as "Obsolete", 81 with a reference to this RFC. 83 4.
