What is RFC?

RFC stands for Request for Comments. It is a formal document from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and Internet Society (ISOC) that describes standards, protocols, procedures, and information regarding the internet and networking technologies. While some RFCs are informational or experimental, many define the technical specifications for internet standards such as TCP/IP, HTTP, and email protocols. They are used by software developers, network engineers, and researchers as authoritative sources for implementing and understanding internet technologies.
