Understand Request for Comments (RFCs)
Request for Comments (RFC) documents are a series of numbered notes, originally created by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF), and also by independent authors. They are a fundamental part of the information and communications technology community, defining standards, protocols, and best practices for the internet. This tool helps you easily access and search these vital documents.
