The authors are allowed, and even suggested, to assign a category, to assist the RFC editor. For instance, standards-track documents have requirements regarding the maturity levels of normative references to other documents, but informational documents require no checking for such things. > Document <draft-irtf-routing-reqs-groupa- Unisphere Networks > 00.txt> April 2002 > Category: Informational > Requirements For a Next Generation > Routing and Addressing Architecture > < draft-irtf-routing-reqs-groupa-00.txt> Informational is quite correct, as this is a list of requirements that the architecture must meet - there are no actual protocol specifications in this document. It says "must support X, Y, and Z", but does not say what on-the-wire bits are used to do so, nor what methods and algorithms are used to implement it. -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
