RFC: Request for Comments

Request for Comments (RFC), a series of documents about the Internet technologies, started in 1969 (when the Internet was the ARPANET). The documents discuss many aspects of computing and computer communication focusing in networking protocols, procedures, programs, and concepts, but also including meeting notes, opinion, and sometimes humor. The specification documents of the Internet protocol suite, as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and its steering group (the IESG), are published as RFCs. Many of the TCP/IP protocols and PPP protocols are defined by rfc's.
