  ITU-T A.5 justification information for referenced document IETF RFC 1701 (1994) in draft G.9973
1. Clear description of the referenced document:
Name: IETF RFC 1701 (1994)
Title: Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE).
2. Status of approval:
approved
3. Justification for the specific reference:
Revised G.9973 enables the Local L2 Agent to transmit LLDP Data Unit (LLDPDU) frames over the non-Ethernet data link layer. For this case, the device in which the Local L2 Agent resides must support the referenced RFC as an encapsulation protocol.
4. Current information, if any, about IPR issues:
Information on IPR issues regarding document is available at: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/search/.
5. Other useful information describing the "Quality" of the document:
The referenced RFC is an Informational RFC.
6. The degree of stability or maturity of the document:
The referenced RFC was approved by IESG and published.
7. Relationship with other existing or emerging documents:
References within the referenced RFC are listed below. RFC 1479 Steenstrup, M. "Inter-Domain Policy Routing Protocol Specification: Version 1", RFC1479, BBN Systems and Technologies, July 1993. RFC 1226 Kantor, B. "Internet Protocol Encapsulation of AX.25 Frames", RFC 1226, University of California, San Diego, May 1991. RFC 1234 Provan, D.
