[Irtf-rr] Presentations from San Diego

[Yakov Rekhter]

Avri,

Quoting from draft-irtf-routing-history-01.txt (section 2.1):

   RFC1126 outlined a set of requirements that were to guide the
   development of BGP. 

The above statement is blatantly false. The development of BGP
was NOT guided by rfc1126, and I know this for a fact, as I am one
of the co-authors of the BGP spec (starting from rfc1105).

With this in mind I would suggest to replace the above sentence with
the following:

   The development of BGP happened completely independently of 
   RFC1126. In other words, from the point of view of the development
   of BGP, RFC1126 is totally irrelevant.

Yakov.
