A number of ICMPv4 message types have become obsolete in practice,
but have never been formally deprecated. This document deprecates
such ICMPv4 message types, thus cleaning up the corresponding IANA
registry. Additionally, it updates RFC 792 and RFC 950, obsoletes
RFC 1788, and requests the RFC Editor to change the status of RFC
1788 to Historic.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet
Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
