9.8. RFCs table

A Request for Comments (RFC) is a numbered document, which includes appraisals, descriptions, and definitions of online protocols, concepts, methods, and programs. RFCs are administered by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). A large part of the standards used online is published in RFCs. Some fundamental RFCs were officially adopted as standards. Nevertheless, a large proportion of RFCs are not granted “Standard” status but are still used as such all over the world. The reason behind this is that the individuals or groups working on an RFC primarily use their time to improve protocols, and not for the standardization process.
