6.10. Obsolete Protocols

6.10. Obsolete Protocols

Some of the protocols listed in this memo are described in RFCs that are obsoleted by newer RFCs. "Obsolete" or "obsoleted" is not an official state or status of protocols. This subsection is for information only.

While it may seem to be obviously wrong to have an obsoleted RFC in the list of standards, there may be cases when an older standard is in the process of being replaced. This process may take a year or two.

Many obsoleted protocols are of little interest and are dropped from this memo altogether. Some obsoleted protocols have received enough recognition that it seems appropriate to list them under their current status and with the following reference to their current replacement.

RFC RFC Status Title * ==== ==== ========= =================================== = 1305 obsoletes 1119 Stan/Rec Network Time Protocol version 2

Thanks to Lynn Wheeler for compiling the information in this subsection.
