RFC4743 and RFC4744 to Historic status
draft-ietf-netconf-rfc4743-rfc4744-to-historic-00

Abstract

This document moves RFC4743 (Using NETCONF over the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)) and RFC4744 (Using the NETCONF Protocol over the Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol (BEEP)) to HISTORIC status to reflect the fact that those two documents have shown very little (if any) implementations and deployment. Furthermore, no-one in the NETCONF WG is interested or volunteering to work on them anymore.

1. Introduction

This document moves RFC 4743 [RFC4743] and RFC 4744 [RFC4744] to HISTORIC status in accordance with RFC 2026 [RFC2026]. These two documents have seen very little (if any) implementations or deployment, and none of the initial proponents are active in the NETCONF space anymore. No-one (else) in the WG is interested or willing to pick up responsibility for these documents.

If these 2 documents were to be kept current, then changes might be needed for compatibility with the current version of NETCONF 1.1.

In the WG nobody gave a positive response when asked who is using it or wants to keep it.

2. Acknowledgements

Thanks to the original editors/authors of RFC4743 and RFC4744. At the time that those RFCs were written, these NETCONF transports seemed to be attractive.

3. IANA Considerations

This memo includes no request to IANA.

4. Security Considerations

This draft introduces no new security considerations.
