0. Abstract
RFC1266 [RFC1266], "Experience with the BGP Protocol" documents how
the requirements for advancing a routing protocol to Draft Standard have
been satisfied by a BGP-3, a technology which is no longer commonly
used. This document requests that RFC 1266 be moved to historic status.
1. Details
During a review of internet standards relating to BGP, it became
apparent that the Experience with BGP-3 Protocol, as described in
RFC1266, 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 [RFC1771]), it is proposed to reclassify it to historic.

2. Security Considerations
Moving RFC1266 to historic has no known effect on the security of the
internet.
