Subject: Protocol Action: IPv6 Router Alert Option for MPLS Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) to Historic

The IESG has approved changing the status of the following document:
- IPv6 Router Alert Option for MPLS Operations, Administration, and
Maintenance (OAM)
  (rfc7506) to Historic

This protocol action is documented at:

Status Change Details:

Status Change for RFC 7506 – “IPv6 Router Alert Option for MPLS Operations,
Administration, and Maintenance (OAM)” to historic.

RFC 7506 allocated IPv6 Router Alert Option (RAO) value that can be used by
the MPLS Echo Request and MPLS Echo Reply messages for MPLS in IPv6
environments.

The Router Alert Option for IPv4 environments was specified by RFC 8029.

RFC 9570 retires the RAO for MPLS OAM for both IPv4 and IPv6 environments.
The document updates RFC 8029 to remove the RAO from MPLS Echo Request and
Echo Reply message encapsulations. Furthermore, RFC 9570 explains why RFC
7506 should be marked historic.

This status change document marks RFC 7506 as historic.

[Ballot discuss]
Probably the most trivial DISCUSS :-)

The text cites twice "draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-norao", assuming that it is actually "draft-ietf-mpls-lspping-norao", this I-D is now published as RFC 9570.
