    Abstract

       RFC 1403, "BGP OSPF Interaction", describes technology which is no
       longer used.  This document requests that RFC 1403 be moved to
       Historic status.

    1. Details

       During a review of internet standards relating to BGP, it became
       apparent that BGP OSPF interaction, as described in RFC 1403, is not
       common usage (if at all), and requires significant implementation
       complexity.  Since this mechanism has not been in use in the public
       internet for many years (if ever), it is proposed to reclassify it to
       Historic.

    2. Security Considerations

       Moving RFC 1403 to Historic has no known effect on the security of
       the internet.
