Abstract

  RFC 1403, "BGP OSPF Interaction", describes technology which is no
  longer used.  This document requests that RFC 1403 be moved to
  Historic status.

1. Details

  During a review of internet standards relating to BGP, it became
  apparent that BGP OSPF interaction, as described in RFC 1403, is not
  common usage (if at all), and requires significant implementation
  complexity.  Since this mechanism has not been in use in the public
  internet for many years (if ever), it is proposed to reclassify it to
  Historic.

2. Security Considerations

  Moving RFC 1403 to Historic has no known effect on the security of
  the internet.

3. References

  [RFC1403]  Varadhan, K., "BGP OSPF Interaction", RFC 1403,
             January 1993.
