RFC چيست؟

متون بسيار کامل ولی خشک و ثقيل که در مورد مفاهيم مختلف شبکه بحث می‌کنند. اين فايل‌ها به صورت متنی و با پسوند txt هستند و به‌عنوان مرجع (برای مراجعه و نه مطالعه کامل) کاربرد دارند. اين فايل‌ها يک‌بار منتشر شده و هرگز تغيير داده نمی‌شوند (حتی اگر حاوی اشتباه باشند.)

◊ فايل‌های RFC از کجا قابل دسترسی هستند؟

RFCها از سايت‌های بسياري قابل دسترس هستند ولی سايت مورد علاقه من برای RFCها، سايت زير است:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/xxxxxxx.txt
که به‌جای xxxxxxx نام rfc موردنظر را می‌نویسيم. مثلا برای دسترسی به rfc791 بايد آدرس را به‌ صورت زير تايپ کنيم:
