This RFC attempts to document various aspects of the IP service model
and how it has evolved over time.  In particular, it attempts to
document the properties of the IP layer as they are seen by upper-
layer protocols and applications, especially properties that were
(and, at times, still are) incorrectly perceived to exist as well as
properties that would cause problems if changed.  The discussion of
these properties is organized around evaluating a set of claims, or
misconceptions.  Finally, this document provides some guidance to
protocol designers and implementers.  This document is not an Internet 
Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.

This document is a product of the Internet Architecture Board.
