RFC 7142

RFC 7142: Reclassification of RFC 1142 to Historic 💖

Okay bestie, this is RFC 7142 from the IETF, published in February 2014 as an Informational document (ISSN 2070-1721). It was written by M. Shand and L. Ginsberg (Les Ginsberg from Cisco Systems), and it obsoletes RFC 1142. It's giving housekeeping energy, and I'm obsessed. 🧚

Abstract 🌸

This memo moves RFC 1142, "OSI IS-IS Intra-domain Routing Protocol", over to Historic status. It also obsoletes RFC 1142. 💅

1. Introduction ✨

Okay so IS-IS is the "OSI Intermediate system to Intermediate system intra-domain routeing information exchange protocol for use in conjunction with the protocol for providing the connectionless-mode Network Service (ISO 8473)", which is also known as ISO/IEC 10589. It got extended for use with IP by RFC 1195 [RFC1195] and then enhanced by many other RFCs. 🦋

RFC 1142 [RFC1142] was a republication of ISO DP 10589, originally provided as a service to the Internet community. But here's the tea: ISO DP 10589 was an ISO "Draft Proposal", and it differed in a considerable number of significant respects from the final standardized version published as ISO/IEC 10589 [ISO10589-First-Edition], which was later revised as ISO/IEC 10589 Second Edition [ISO10589-Second-Edition]. It has been an ongoing source of confusion when RFC 1142 gets unwittingly quoted or referenced in place of ISO/IEC 10589 itself. 💀

All references to IS-IS should be to the latest edition of the IS-IS standard (currently ISO/IEC 10589:2002, Second Edition), and RFC 1142 is only of historic interest. 🍓

This memo explains why RFC 1142, "OSI IS-IS Intra-domain Routing Protocol", is reclassified to Historic status. This memo also obsoletes RFC 1142. Bestie, that's the whole plot. 👑

2. Security Considerations 🔥

Reclassifying RFC 1142 has no security considerations. Zero drama here. 💅
