This document analyzes the operational security issues associated with several types of networks and proposes technical and procedural mitigation techniques. This document is only applicable to managed networks, such as enterprise networks, service provider networks, or managed residential networks.', changed pages to 48, changed standardization level to Informational, changed state to RFC, added RFC published event at 2021-08-13, changed IESG state to RFC Published)
