>   The original version of RIP standarized the behavior of an existing,

> Working Group Summary
> 
>   Both the RIPv2 and Router Requirements working groups asked for the
>   move of RIPv1 to Historic.

>   While there is clearly a place for a simple distance vector protocol,
>   it is important that standard IETF protocol be able to support our
>   real environments. RIPv1 is very ill-suited to doing so. In
>   addition, RIPv2 represents a successor protocol which fills this
>   niche in a way suit to our current situation.
