+RFC 6938                Deprecation of DPA et al.               May 2013
+
+
+1.  Introduction
+
+   As of this writing, the BGP Path Attributes registry maintained by
+   IANA contains entries for DPA, ADVERTISER, and RCID_PATH /
+   CLUSTER_ID.  The first of these is associated with [BGPDPA], an
+   Internet-Draft that was abandoned in 1996.  The latter are associated
+   with [RFC1863], an RFC that was reclassified as Historic by [RFC4223]
+   in 2005.  Neither specification is currently in use, nor have they
+   ever been.
+
+   Note that the deprecated CLUSTER_ID is distinct from CLUSTER_LIST
+   [RFC4456].  CLUSTER_LIST is not being deprecated.
+
+2.  IANA Considerations
+
+   Per this document, IANA has marked the BGP Path Attributes registry
+   entries for DPA (Value 11), ADVERTISER (Value 12), and RCID_PATH /
+   CLUSTER_ID (Value 13) as "deprecated".
+
+3.  Security Considerations
+
+   There are no meaningful security consequences arising from this
+   registry update.
