Hi,
I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's
ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the
IESG. These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the
security area directors. Document editors and WG chairs should treat
these comments just like any other last call comments.
A number of IPv4 options have become obsolete in practice, but have
never been formally deprecated. This document deprecates such IPv4
options, thus cleaning up the corresponding IANA registry, and
serving as a basis for providing advice about the filtering of
packets containing these options. Additionally, it requests that the
status of the corresponding RFCs be changed to "Historic".
I have no issues with this document.
