General 6man template This document moves RFC3627 (Use of /127 Prefix Length Between Routers Considered Harmful) to HISTORIC status to reflect the updated guidance contained in RFC6164 (Using 127-Bit IPv6 Prefixes on Inter-Router Links). While a standards track document already supersedes an informational document and therefore RFC6164 is the appropriate guidance to follow when the two documents are in conflict, this links the two documents so that it is clearer that the IETF has updated guidance on the matter.

This document moves RFC 3627 to HISTORIC status in accordance with RFC 2026. It has been superseded by RFC 6164. While a standards track document already supersedes an informational document and therefore RFC6164 is the appropriate guidance to follow when the two documents are in conflict, this may not be clear to casual readers who are not completely familiar with the differences in IETF document types. This document adds the necessary link between the two documents so that those referring to RFC3627 for guidance will see that it has been obsoleted by updated guidance on the matter, thus hopefully eliminating any confusion that may be present.

Thanks to Brian Carpenter, Bob Hinden, and Ron Bonica for guidance on the matter, and to Pekka Savola and Miya Kohno and the other authors of 6164 for their support.

This memo includes no request to IANA.

This draft introduces no new security considerations.
