RFC 3109 Request to Move STD 39 to Historic Status May 2001
In 1983 the US DoD moved the ARPAnet technology to TCP/IP and split
off parts of the ARPAnet to form a production facility called MILNET.
The DoD mandated a byte-oriented, X.25-based interface for the MILNET
IMPs. However, the machines on the research-oriented ARPAnet
continued to use the 1822 interface under the new Internet protocol
suite. Therefore, BBN Report 1822 was made an Internet Standard, STD
39, although the report was not republished as an RFC.
2. Action
Since the ARPAnet technology and the BBN 1822 interface are no longer
in use, the IESG is moving BBN Report 1822 from Standard to Historic
status. The STD number 39 is retired.
3. Security Considerations
Moving STD 39 to historic has no known effect on the security of the
Internet.
4. References
[BBN1822] STD 39 is BBN Report 1822 "Specification for the
Interconnection of a Host and an IMP". This can be ordered
