Request For Comment Documents
Request for Comments (RFC) documents provide an overview of a protocol or service
and details about how the protocol should behave. If you’re a novice server
administrator, you’ll probably find some of the background information in an RFC
helpful. If you’re an experienced server administrator, you can find all the technical
details about a protocol in its RFC document. You can search for RFC documents by
number at the website www.faqs.org/rfcs.
