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.
I see little value even thinking about this.  It's looks like a "make work" project to me.  Just 
because something is "old", doesn't mean it is "historic" in the sense the label is used 
in the IETF.

Regarding RDP (RFC908, RFC1151), of which I am one of the authors, both are 
currently labeled as Experimental.  I do not see any reason to change that.

Bob, all,

Personally I don't support the idea to move the RDP to Historic. The initial idea was to defined IANA procedures for assignment RDP ports, that remains undefined. But when I presented the corresponding draft to tsvwg, many claimed that it would be better to move it ti Historic rather than specify IANA procedures for it. Currently, there is a draft on this topic:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-yevstifeyev-rdp-ports-registry-02

My initial idea was just that. And you, Bob, do you find this topic interesting (RDP ports assignment) as the developer of RDP?

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?

All the best,
