RFC 1716: Towards Requirements for IP Routers

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 1812.

Current document in this lineage: RFC 1812 — Requirements for IP Version 4 Routers

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

The goal of this work is to replace RFC-1009, Requirements for Internet Gateways ([INTRO:1]) with a new document. It defines and discusses requirements for devices which perform the network layer forwarding function of the Internet protocol suite. This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
