RFC 1812 Requirements for IP Version 4 Routers
Internet Engineering Task Force, (June 1995)Abstract
This document is an updated version of RFC 1716, the historical
Router Requirements document. That RFC preserved the significant
work that went into the working group, but failed to adequately
describe current technology for the IESG to consider it a current
standard.
The current editor had been asked to bring the document up to date,
so that it is useful as a procurement specification and a guide to
implementors. In this, he stands squarely on the shoulders of those
who have gone before him, and depends largely on expert contributors
for text. Any credit is theirs; the errors are his.
The content and form of this document are due, in large part, to the
working group's chair, and document's original editor and author:
Philip Almquist. It is also largely due to the efforts of its
previous editor, Frank Kastenholz. Without their efforts, this
document would not exist.
