Introduction + + This document moves "Use of /127 Prefix Length Between Routers + Considered Harmful" [RFC3627] to Historic status in accordance with + RFC 2026 [RFC2026]. RFC 3627 has been superseded by "Using 127-Bit + IPv6 Prefixes on Inter-Router Links" [RFC6164]. A Standards Track + document supersedes an informational document; therefore, guidance + provided in RFC 6164 is to be followed when the two documents are in + conflict. This may not have been clear to casual readers who are not + familiar with the differences in IETF document types. This document + adds the necessary link between the two RFCs so that users referring + to RFC 3627 for guidance will see that it has been obsoleted by + updated guidance on the matter, thus hopefully eliminating any + confusion that may be present. + +2. Security Considerations + + This document introduces no new security considerations. + +3.
