The IETF disclaims any knowledge of the fitness of this RFC for any purpose and notes that the decision to publish is not based on IETF review apart from IESG review for conflict with IETF work. RFC Editor has chosen to publish this document at its discretion. See RFC 3932 for more information. The IESG note should be clear to anyone who actually reads the RFC.
