Message-ID: Date: 31 Jan 91 20:52:56 GMT Sender: usenet@MorningStar.COM (USENET Administrator) Reply-To: bob@MorningStar.Com (Bob Sutterfield) Organization: Morning Star Technologies Lines: 12 RFC 1122 section 3.2.1.8(a) refers to an RFC 1108, "Internet Protocol Security Options," by one B. Schofield, dated October 1989. RFC 1122 also specifically warns that RFCs 1038 and 791 are obsolete, though it cites 791 as the source of its MUSTs and MAYs. But the RFC Index lists RFC 1108 as "not yet issued", and it indeed seems not to be available from the NIC. And RFC 1038 claims to be a pre-publication draft. What is the current authoritative reference in this area? Must an implementor order the revised MIL-STD 1777 from Navy Publications (as suggested in RFC 1038), or is it available on-line in RFC form?
