Internet-Draft Deprecation of DPA et al December 2012
1. Introduction
As of this writing the BGP Path Attributes registry maintained by
IANA contains entries for DPA, ADVERTISER, and RCID_PATH /
CLUSTER_ID. The first of these is associated with
[draft-ietf-idr-bgp-dpa-05], an Internet Draft that was abandoned in
1996. The latter are associated with [RFC1863], an RFC that was
reclassified as Historic by [RFC4223] in 2005. Neither of these
specifications is in use now, nor ever was.
Note that the deprecated CLUSTER_ID is distinct from CLUSTER_LIST
[RFC4456]. CLUSTER_LIST is not being deprecated.
2. IANA Considerations
This document requests IANA to mark the BGP Path Attributes registry
entries for DPA (Value 11), ADVERTISER (Value 12), and RCID_PATH /
CLUSTER_ID (Value 13) as "Deprecated".
3. Security Considerations
There are no meaningful security consequences arising from this
registry update.
