Historic might imply that they were once in service, but have later been replaced/deprecated. In fact, these protocols were always, and are still, *experimental*. It would seem logical to assign them the Experimental category and be done with it.

Hello all,

There have been a discussion on tsvwg mailing list about old transport
layer protocols - exactly IRTP (RFC938), RDP (RFC908,1151) and NETBLT
(RFC998). Initially there have been proposed to define IANA
considerations for them. But after a discussion it was found out that it
would be better to move them to Historic. I am writing to request more
wider discussion on this topic.

There is quite strong consensus that IRTP should be Historic. There is a
registered draft on this topic:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-yevstifeyev-tsvwg-irtp-to-historic/

But as for others it should be discussed. Moreover, maybe anyone knows
some other old transport-layer protocols that are no longer in use?

Please copy tour answer to ts...@ietf.org

All the best,
Mykyta Yevstifeyev
