Abstract
This document seeks to record all usage of IPv4 addresses in
currently deployed IETF Operations & Management Area accepted
standards. In order to successfully transition from an all IPv4
Internet to an all IPv6 Internet, many interim steps will be taken.
One of these steps is the evolution of current protocols that have
IPv4 dependencies. It is hoped that these protocols (and their
implementations) will be redesigned to be network address
independent, but failing that will at least dually support IPv4 and
IPv6. To this end, all Standards (Full, Draft, and Proposed), as
well as Experimental RFCs, will be surveyed and any dependencies will
be documented.

1. Introduction
This document is part of a set aiming to record all usage of IPv4
addresses in IETF standards. In an effort to have the information in
a manageable form, it has been broken into 7 documents conforming to
the current IETF areas (Application, Internet, Operations &
Management, Routing, Security, Sub-IP and Transport).
For a full introduction, please see the introduction [1].
2. Document Organization
The document is organized as described below:
Sections 3, 4, 5, and 6 each describe the raw analysis of Full,
Draft, and Proposed Standards, and Experimental RFCs. Each RFC is
discussed in its turn starting with RFC 1 and ending with (around)
RFC 3100. The comments for each RFC are "raw" in nature. That is,
each RFC is discussed in a vacuum and problems or issues discussed do
not "look ahead" to see if the problems have already been fixed.
Section 7 is an analysis of the data presented in Sections 3, 4, 5,
and 6. It is here that all of the results are considered as a whole
and the problems that have been resolved in later RFCs are
correlated.

3. Full Standards
Full Internet Standards (most commonly simply referred to as
"Standards") are fully mature protocol specification that are widely
implemented and used throughout the Internet.
3.1. RFC 1155 Structure of Management Information
Section 3.2.3.2. IpAddress defines the following:
This application-wide type represents a 32-bit internet address.
It is represented as an OCTET STRING of length 4, in network
