Introduction

This is an experimental IETF RFC HTML

Sectiions are:

BLI has loaded much of the IETF RFC summary, glossary, and standards information into our Semantic Network DBMS. This collection of HTML files have been produced by a series of SNDBMS reports. In the past, Britton Lee, Inc. has generated its version of rfcindex.txt, rfcauthor.txt and the information that appears in RFC1600 section 6.10.

IETF Standards Information

This is the IETF standards information grouped by state and status (taken from RFC1600, OFFICIAL INTERNET PROTOCOL STANDARDS). Associated RFCs that document standards are also listed and are hypertext selectable.

A couple footnotes as to creating this information. For this section, the SNDBMS "language" sentence only selected Protocols that are Documented by RFCs (i.e. protocols documented by other than RFCs were not selected; BBN1822, ISI-Memo, etc).

The report now uses more of the RFC1600 style and no longer double-lists Telnet and Network-Specific protocols.

I had previously done limited "rules" for the "Obsoleted" section and things like cascading obsoletes. In creating these sections, I've added a couple more "rules". As a result there are slight modifications as compared to RFC1600:

IETF Standards
The IESG has established this as an official standard protocol for the Internet. These protocols are assigned STD numbers (see RFC- 1311). These are separated into two groups: (1) IP protocol and above, protocols that apply to the whole Internet; and (2) network-specific protocols, generally specifications of how to do IP on particular types of networks.
IETF Drafts
The IESG is actively considering this protocol as a possible Standard Protocol. Substantial and widespread testing and comment are desired. Comments and test results should be submitted to the IESG. There is a possibility that changes will be made in a Draft Standard Protocol before it becomes a Standard Protocol.
IETF Proposed
These are protocol proposals that may be considered by the IESG for standardization in the future. Implementation and testing by several groups is desirable. Revision of the protocol specification is likely.
IETF Network-Specific
IETF Telnet
IETF Informational
Protocols developed by other standard organizations, or vendors, or that are for other reasons outside the purview of the IESG, may be published as RFCs for the convenience of the Internet community as informational protocols.
IETF Experimental
A system should not implement an experimental protocol unless it is participating in the experiment and has coordinated its use of the protocol with the developer of the protocol.

Typically, experimental protocols are those that are developed as part of an ongoing research project not related to an operational service offering. While they may be proposed as a service protocol at a later stage, and thus become proposed standard, draft standard, and then standard protocols, the designation of a protocol as experimental may sometimes be meant to suggest that the protocol, although perhaps mature, is not intended for operational use.

IETF Historical
These are protocols that are unlikely to ever become standards in the Internet either because they have been superseded by later developments or due to lack of interest.

IETF Obsoleted RFCs

Some of the protcols listed in this memo are described in RFCs that are obsoleted by newer RFCs. "Obsolete" or "obsoleted" is not an official state or status of protocols. This subsection is for information only.

While it may seem to be obviously wrong to have an obsoleted RFC in the list of standards, there may be cases when an older standard is in the process of being replaced. This process may take a year or two.

For example, the Network Time Protocol (NTP) [RFC 1119] is in its version 2 a full Standard, and in its version 3 is a Draft Standard [RFC 1305]. Once version 3 is a full Standard, version 2 will be made Historic.

Many obsoleted protocols are of little interest and are dropped from this memo altogether. Some obsoleted protocols have received enough recognition that it seems appropriate to list them under their current status and with the following reference to their current replacement.

  • 1592 obsoletes 1228, Experimental/LimitedUse; SNMP Distributed Program Interface
  • 1583 obsoletes 1247, Draft/Elective; Open Shortest Path First Routing V2
  • 1573 obsoletes 1229, Proposed/Elective; Extensions to the Generic-Interface MIB
  • 1572 obsoletes 1408, Historical Telnet/NotRecommended; Telnet Environment Option v0
  • 1541 obsoletes 1531, Proposed/Elective; Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
  • 1533 obsoletes 1497, Draft/Recommended; Bootstrap Protocol
  • 1528 obsoletes 1486, Experimental/LimitedUse; An Experiment in Remote Printing
  • 1423 obsoletes 1115, Historical/NotRecommended; Mail Privacy: Algorithms
  • 1422 obsoletes 1114, Historical/NotRecommended; Mail Privacy: Key Management
