Moving Outdated TCP Extensions and TCP-Related Documents
to Historic or Informational Status
Abstract
This document reclassifies several TCP extensions and TCP-related
documents that either have been superseded, have never seen
widespread use, or are no longer recommended for use to "Historic"
status. The affected documents are RFCs 675, 721, 761, 813, 816,
879, 896, 1078, and 6013. Additionally, this document reclassifies
RFCs 700, 794, 814, 817, 872, 889, 964, and 1071 to "Informational"
status.

1. Introduction
TCP has a long history. Over time, many RFCs have accumulated that
describe aspects of the TCP protocol, implementation, and extensions.
Some of these have been superseded, are no longer recommended for
use, or have simply never seen widespread use.
Sections 6 and 7.1 of the TCP roadmap document [RFC7414] already
reclassified a number of TCP extensions as "Historic" and describes
the reasons for doing so, but it did not instruct the RFC Editor to
change the status of these RFCs in the RFC database. The purpose of
this document is to do just that.
In addition, this document reclassifies all other documents mentioned
in the TCP roadmap that currently have an "Unknown" status to either
"Historic" or "Informational".

2. Status Changes
The following two sections give a short justification why a specific
TCP extension or a TCP-related document is being reclassified as
"Historic" or "Informational". In addition, the letter code after an
RFC number indicates from which original status a particular RFC is
changed to "Historic" or "Informational" (see BCP 9 [RFC2026] for an
explanation of these categories):
