Title: Standards Maturity Variance Regarding the TCP MD5 Signature Option (RFC 2385) and the BGP-4 Specification
State: Pending
Authors: Steven Bellovin
Group: Internet Engineering Steering Group (iesg)
Date: 2004-09-22
The IETF Standards Process requires that all normative references for a
document be at the same or higher level of standardization. RFC 2026
section 9.1 allows the IESG to grant a variance to the standard practices
of the IETF. This document explains why the IESG is considering doing so
for the revised version of the BGP-4 specification, which refers
normatively to RFC 2385, 'Protection of BGP Sessions via the TCP MD5
Signature Option'. RFC 2385 will remain at the Proposed Standard level.
