+Abstract
+
+   This memo changes the status of STD 39, BBN Report 1822,
+   "Specification of the Interconnection of a Host and an IMP", from
+   Standard to Historic.
+
+1. Introduction
+
+   The Internet design grew out of the pioneering packet-switched
+   network called the ARPAnet.  The ARPAnet was a mostly-US national
+   network built of mini-computer packet switches, called Interface
+   Message Processors (IMPs), that were linked by 56kbps leased
+   telephone lines.  The IMPs were designed and built by Bolt, Beranek,
+   and Neumann (BBN) under contract with ARPA, beginning in 1968.  One
+   of BBN's first tasks was to define the standard hardware interface
+   between a host and a colocated IMP.  This interface was described in
+   BBN Report 1822 [BBN1822], which was a bible for the administrators
+   of the many different hosts that connected to the ARPAnet.
+
+   The BBN Report 1822 host/IMP hardware interface was bit-serial and
+   asynchronous.  In 1968, the 8-bit byte had not yet been adopted as an
+   industry standard, so the interface had to cope with word-based
+   machines with arbitrary word length -- some common word lengths were
+   8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 60, but there were others.  From the software
+   viewpoint, Report 1822 defined what would today be called the link-
+   layer access protocol for the ARPAnet.

+RFC 3109       Request to Move STD 39 to Historic Status        May 2001
+
+
+   In 1983 the US DoD moved the ARPAnet technology to TCP/IP and split
+   off parts of the ARPAnet to form a production facility called MILNET.
+   The DoD mandated a byte-oriented, X.25-based interface for the MILNET
+   IMPs.  However, the machines on the research-oriented ARPAnet
+   continued to use the 1822 interface under the new Internet protocol
+   suite.  Therefore, BBN Report 1822 was made an Internet Standard, STD
+   39, although the report was not republished as an RFC.
+
+2. Action
+
+   Since the ARPAnet technology and the BBN 1822 interface are no longer
+   in use, the IESG is moving BBN Report 1822 from Standard to Historic
+   status.  The STD number 39 is retired.
+
+3. Security Considerations
+
+   Moving STD 39 to historic has no known effect on the security of the
+   Internet.
+
+4. References
+
+   [BBN1822] STD 39 is BBN Report 1822 "Specification for the
+             Interconnection of a Host and an IMP".  This can be ordered
+             from Bolt, Beranek, and Newman, 10 Moulton Street,
+             Cambridge, MA 02138.
