Abstract ✨

so RFC 1745, "BGP4/IDRP for IP---OSPF Interaction", describes tech that was never deployed on the public internet 😭 This doc asks for RFC 1745 to be moved to Historic status. 🧚

1. Details 🔥

okay the lore: while reviewing internet standards about BGP, it became super clear that the BGP/IDRP and OSPF interaction from RFC 1745 has never been deployed on the public internet. It would also need a lot of implementation complexity 💀 Since nobody has ever used this mechanism on the public internet, the proposal is to reclassify it as Historic. That's it, that's the tea 🍓

2. Security Considerations 🔐

Moving RFC 1745 to Historic has no known effect on the security of the internet. Zero known drama here, periodt 💜

3. References 📚
