Working documents of the Internet research and development community. These documents cover a range of topics related to computer communications ranging from Internet working group reports through to Internet standards specifications.
A document series, begun in 1969, which describes the Internet suite of protocols and related experiments. Not all (actually, very few) RFCs describe Internet standards, but all Internet standards are written up as RFCs. (8/97)
A technical policy document of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF); these documents can be accessed on the World Wide Web at http://www.ietf.org/.
Are standards defining internet protocols.
This is defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and specifies the details for the TCP/IP family of protocols.
A specfication of an internet standard or protocol.
a formal document from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) that is the result of committee drafting and subsequent review by interested parties
a formal document from the Internet Engineering Task Force resulting from committee drafting and subsequent review by interested parties
Format in which TCP/IP standards are published. Also provides insight into and describes the workings of the IETF organization.
RFCs are officially available from either the IETF or http://www.rfc-editor.org/, which also lists other repositories.

RFC s are the official Internet standard documents, published by the IETF ( Internet Engineering Task Force). They describe all protocols, their usage, their requirements and so on. When you want to learn how a protocol works, pick up the corresponding RFC. RPM
A document that defines a standard. RFCs are published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and other working groups.
The generic name given to a document in the set managed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The IETF is an industry consortium that acts as the clearinghouse for the technical standards that enable the Internet to function. Though RFC documents are not explicitly defined as standards, they are generally perceived as such. Most manufacturers and developers of Internet-based products and software adhere to them rigorously. A more complete definition is here and the RFCs themselves are here.
The RFCs are a series of notes, started in 1969, about the Internet (originally the ARPANET). The notes discuss many aspects of computing and computer communication focusing in networking protocols, procedures, programs, and concepts, but also including meeting notes, opinion, and sometimes humour. The Internet standards are documented within the RFC documents. See: http://www.rfc-editor.org/ SMTP
An official document of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) that specifies the details for protocols included in the TCP/IP family.
A document that was created to define accepted or proposed Internet standards or standards of practice. The acceptance of a document as an RFC is governed...
The official document series of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) that discusses many aspects of computing and computer communication focusing on networking and Internet protocols, procedures, programs, and concepts. All Internet protocols are written up as RFCs, but not all RFCs describe Internet standards. [see also: Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
Online documents that have to do with technical standards for the Internet. Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) or Point to Point Protocol (PPP, a Dial-up IP) Internet connections Both allow a computer to connect to the Internet using a modem and telephone line. Users then navigate the Internet using software on their own computer. This is in contrast to using a Dialup Internet Connection, where a user is forced to navigate the Net using a text-based set of menus.
The document series, begun in 1969, that describes the Internet suite of protocols and related experiments. The name comes from bureaucratspeak-as do its government procurement cousins RFQ (Request for Quote) and RFP (Request for Purchase). Not all (in fact very few) RFC's describe Internet standards, but all Internet standards are written up as RFCs. The RFC series of documents is unusual in that the proposed protocols are forwarded by the Internet research and development community; acting on their own behalf, as opposed to the formally reviewed and standardized protocols that are promoted by organizations such as CCITT and ANSI.

In the Internet community, RFCs are a numbered sequence of documents generally describing protocols for Internet communication. An Internet standard protocol is also given a STD number in addition to an RFC number. Only RFCs with a STD number are standards of the IETF. Some RFCs are historical or experimental and are not standards. Others have not yet reached standard status. Still others provide documentation about the Internet itself.
Documents containing the standards, proposed standards, and other necessary details regarding the operation of the Internet.

In internetworking and computer network engineering, Request for Comments (RFC) documents are a series of memoranda encompassing new research, innovations, and methodologies applicable to Internet technologies.
