this document
1. The Standardization
The Internet Architecture Board maintains this list of documents
define standards for the Internet protocol suite. See RFC-1358
the charter of the IAB and RFC-1160 for an explanation of the
and organization of the IAB and its subsidiary groups, the
Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the Internet Research Task
(IRTF). Each of these groups has a steering group called the
Internet Architecture Board [Page 2]
RFC 1500 Internet Standards August 1993
and IRSG, respectively. The IETF develops these standards with
goal of co-ordinating the evolution of the Internet protocols;
co-ordination has become quite important as the Internet
are increasingly in general commercial use. The
description of the Internet standards process is found in RFC-1310.
The majority of Internet protocol development and
activity takes place in the working groups of the IETF
Protocols which are to become standards in the Internet go through
series of states or maturity levels (proposed standard,
standard, and standard) involving increasing amounts of scrutiny
testing. When a protocol completes this process it is assigned a
number (see RFC-1311). At each step, the Internet
Steering Group (IESG) of the IETF must make a recommendation
advancement of the protocol
To allow time for the Internet community to consider and react
standardization proposals, a minimum delay of 6 months before
proposed standard can be advanced to a draft standard and 4
before a draft standard can be promoted to standard
It is general practice that no proposed standard can be promoted
draft standard without at least two independent implementations (
the recommendation of the IESG). Promotion from draft standard
standard generally requires operational experience and
interoperability of two or more implementations (and
recommendation of the IESG).
In cases where there is uncertainty as to the proper
concerning a protocol a special review committee may be
consisting of experts from the IETF, IRTF and the IAB with
purpose of recommending an explicit action
Advancement of a protocol to proposed standard is an important
since it marks a protocol as a candidate for eventual
(it puts the protocol "on the standards track"). Advancement
draft standard is a major step which warns the community that,
major objections are raised or flaws are discovered, the protocol
likely to be advanced to standard in six months
Some protocols have been superseded by better ones or are
unused. Such protocols are still documented in this memorandum
the designation "historic".
Because it is useful to document the results of early
research and development work, some of the RFCs document
which are still in an experimental condition. The protocols

designated "experimental" in this memorandum. They appear in
report as a convenience to the community and not as evidence of
standardization
Other protocols, such as those developed by other
organizations, or by particular vendors, may be of interest or may
recommended for use in the Internet. The specifications of
protocols may be published as RFCs for the convenience of
Internet community. These protocols are labeled "informational"
this memorandum
In addition to the working groups of the IETF, protocol
and experimentation may take place as a result of the work of
research groups of the Internet Research Task Force, or the work
other individuals interested in Internet protocol development.
the documentation of such experimental work in the RFC series
encouraged, but none of this work is considered to be on the
for standardization until the IESG has made a recommendation
advance the protocol to the proposed standard state
A few protocols have achieved widespread implementation without
approval of the IESG. For example, some vendor protocols have
very important to the Internet community even though they have
been recommended by the IESG. However, the IAB strongly
that the standards process be used in the evolution of the
suite to maximize interoperability (and to prevent
protocol requirements from arising). The use of the
"standard", "draft standard", and "proposed standard" are reserved
any RFC or other publication of Internet protocols to only
protocols which the IESG has approved
In addition to a state (like "Proposed Standard"), a protocol is
assigned a status, or requirement level, in this document.
possible requirement levels ("Required", "Recommended", "Elective",
"Limited Use", and "Not Recommended") are defined in Section 4.2.
When a protocol is on the standards track, that is in the
standard, draft standard, or standard state (see Section 5),
status shown in Section 6 is the current status
Few protocols are required to be implemented in all systems; this
because there is such a variety of possible systems, for example
gateways, routers, terminal servers, workstations, and multi-
hosts. The requirement level shown in this document is only a
word label, which may not be sufficient to characterize
implementation requirements for a protocol in all situations.
some protocols, this document contains an additional status
(an applicability statement). In addition, more detailed
information may be contained in separate requirements documents (
Internet Architecture Board [Page 4]
RFC 1500 Internet Standards August 1993
Section 3).
2. The Request for Comments
The documents called Request for Comments (or RFCs) are the
notes of the "Network Working Group", that is the Internet
and development community. A document in this series may be
essentially any topic related to computer communication, and may
anything from a meeting report to the specification of a standard

All standards are published as RFCs, but not all RFCs

Anyone can submit a document for publication as an RFC.
must be made via electronic mail to the RFC Editor (see the
information at the end of this memo, and see RFC 1111).
While RFCs are not refereed publications, they do receive
review from the task forces, individual technical experts, or the
Editor, as appropriate
The RFC series comprises a wide range of documents, ranging
informational documents of general interests to specifications
standard Internet protocols. In cases where submission is
to document a proposed standard, draft standard, or
protocol, the RFC Editor will publish the document only with
approval of the IESG. For documents describing experimental work
the RFC Editor will notify the IESG before publication, allowing
the possibility of review by the relevant IETF working group or
research group and provide those comments to the author. See
5.1 for more detail
Once a document is assigned an RFC number and published, that RFC
never revised or re-issued with the same number. There is never
question of having the most recent version of a particular RFC
However, a protocol (such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP)) may
improved and re-documented many times in several different RFCs.
is important to verify that you have the most recent RFC on
particular protocol. This "Internet Official Protocol Standards
memo is the reference for determining the correct RFC for the
specification of each protocol
The RFCs are available from the INTERNIC, and a number of
sites. For more information about obtaining RFCs, see Sections 7.4
and 7.5.

3. Other Reference
There are three other reference documents of interest in checking
current status of protocol specifications and standardization.
are the Assigned Numbers, the Gateway Requirements, and the
Requirements. Note that these documents are revised and updated
different times; in case of differences between these documents,
most recent must prevail
Also, one should be aware of the MIL-STD publications on IP, TCP
Telnet, FTP, and SMTP. These are described in Section 3.4.
3.1. Assigned
The "Assigned Numbers" document lists the assigned values of
parameters used in the various protocols. For example, IP
codes, TCP port numbers, Telnet Option Codes, ARP hardware types,
Terminal Type names. Assigned Numbers was most recently issued
RFC-1340.
3.2. Gateway
This document reviews the specifications that apply to gateways
supplies guidance and clarification for any ambiguities.
Requirements is RFC-1009. A working group of the IETF is
preparing a revision
3.3. Host
This pair of documents reviews and updates the specifications
apply to hosts, and it supplies guidance and clarification for
ambiguities. Host Requirements was issued as RFC-1122 and RFC-1123.
3.4. The MIL-STD
The Internet community specifications for IP (RFC-791) and TCP (RFC
793) and the DoD MIL-STD specifications are intended to
exactly the same protocols. Any difference in the
specified by these sets of documents should be reported to DISA
to the IESG. The RFCs and the MIL-STDs for IP and TCP differ
style and level of detail. It is strongly advised that the two
of documents be used together, along with RFC-1122 and RFC-1123.
The Internet and the DoD MIL-STD specifications for the FTP, SMTP
and Telnet protocols are essentially the same documents (RFCs 765,
821, 854). The MIL-STD versions have been edited slightly.
that the current Internet specification for FTP is RFC-959 (
modified by RFC-1123).

Note that these MIL-STD are now somewhat out of date. The
Requirements (RFC-1009) and Host Requirements (RFC-1122, RFC-1123)
take precedence over both earlier RFCs and the MIL-STDs

4. Explanation of
There are two independent categorization of protocols. The first
the "maturity level" or STATE of standardization, one of "standard",
"draft standard", "proposed standard", "experimental",
"informational" or "historic". The second is the "requirement level
or STATUS of this protocol, one of "required", "recommended",
"elective", "limited use", or "not recommended".
The status or requirement level is difficult to portray in a one
label. These status labels should be considered only as
indication, and a further description, or applicability statement
should be consulted
When a protocol is advanced to proposed standard or draft standard
it is labeled with a current status
At any given time a protocol occupies a cell of the following matrix
Protocols are likely to be in cells in about the
proportions (indicated by the relative number of Xs). A new

What is a "system"?
Some protocols are particular to hosts and some to gateways; a
protocols are used in both. The definitions of the terms
will refer to a "system" which is either a host or a gateway (
both). It should be clear from the context of the
protocol which types of systems are intended
4.1. Definitions of Protocol
Every protocol listed in this document is assigned to a "
level" or STATE of standardization: "standard", "draft standard",
"proposed standard", "experimental", or "historic".
4.1.1. Standard
The IESG has established this as an official standard protocol
the Internet. These protocols are assigned STD numbers (see RFC
1311). These are separated into two groups: (1) IP protocol
above, protocols that apply to the whole Internet; and (2)
network-specific protocols, generally specifications of how to
IP on particular types of networks
4.1.2. Draft Standard
The IESG is actively considering this protocol as a
Standard Protocol. Substantial and widespread testing and
are desired. Comments and test results should be submitted to
IESG. There is a possibility that changes will be made in a
Standard Protocol before it becomes a Standard Protocol
Internet Architecture Board [Page 8]
RFC 1500 Internet Standards August 1993
4.1.3. Proposed Standard
These are protocol proposals that may be considered by the
for standardization in the future. Implementation and testing
several groups is desirable. Revision of the
specification is likely
4.1.4. Experimental
A system should not implement an experimental protocol unless
is participating in the experiment and has coordinated its use
the protocol with the developer of the protocol
Typically, experimental protocols are those that are developed
part of an ongoing research project not related to an
service offering. While they may be proposed as a
protocol at a later stage, and thus become proposed standard
draft standard, and then standard protocols, the designation of
protocol as experimental may sometimes be meant to suggest
the protocol, although perhaps mature, is not intended
operational use
4.1.5. Informational
Protocols developed by other standard organizations, or vendors
or that are for other reasons outside the purview of the IESG,
be published as RFCs for the convenience of the Internet
as informational protocols
4.1.6. Historic
These are protocols that are unlikely to ever become standards
the Internet either because they have been superseded by
developments or due to lack of interest
4.2. Definitions of Protocol
This document lists a "requirement level" or STATUS for
protocol. The status is one of "required", "recommended",
"elective", "limited use", or "not recommended".
4.2.1. Required
A system must implement the required protocols
4.2.2. Recommended
A system should implement the recommended protocols
Internet Architecture Board [Page 9]
RFC 1500 Internet Standards August 1993
4.2.3. Elective
A system may or may not implement an elective protocol.
general notion is that if you are going to do something like this
you must do exactly this. There may be several elective
in a general area, for example, there are several electronic
protocols, and several routing protocols
4.2.4. Limited Use
These protocols are for use in limited circumstances. This may
because of their experimental state, specialized nature,
functionality, or historic state
4.2.5. Not Recommended
These protocols are not recommended for general use. This may
because of their limited functionality, specialized nature,
experimental or historic state
5. The Standards
This section discusses in more detail the procedures used by the
Editor and the IESG in making decisions about the labeling
publishing of protocols as standards
5.1. The RFC Processing Decision
Here is the current decision table for processing submissions by
RFC Editor. The processing depends on who submitted it, and
status they want it to have

5.2. The Standards Track
There is a part of the STATUS and STATE categorization that is
the standards track. Actually, only the changes of state

status assignments may change as well
The states illustrated by single line boxes are temporary states
those illustrated by double line boxes are long term states.
protocol will normally be expected to remain in a temporary state
several months (minimum six months for proposed standard,
four months for draft standard). A protocol may be in a long
state for many years
A protocol may enter the standards track only on the
of the IESG; and may move from one state to another along the
only on the recommendation of the IESG. That is, it takes action
the IESG to either start a protocol on the track or to move it along
Generally, as the protocol enters the standards track a decision
made as to the eventual STATUS, requirement level or
(elective, recommended, or required) the protocol will have,
a somewhat less stringent current status may be assigned, and it
is placed in the the proposed standard STATE with that status.
the initial placement of a protocol is into state 1. At any time
STATUS decision may be revisited

The transition from draft standard (2) to standard (3) can only be

Occasionally, the decision may be that the protocol is not ready
standardization and will be assigned to the experimental state (4).
This is off the standards track, and the protocol may be
to enter the standards track after further work. There are
paths into the experimental and historic states that do not

Sometimes one protocol is replaced by another and thus
historic, or it may happen that a protocol on the standards track
in a sense overtaken by another protocol (or other events)
becomes historic (state 5).

RFC 1500 Internet Standards August 1993
Applicability Statements
IGMP -- The Internet Architecture Board intends to move
general adoption of IP multicasting, as a more efficient
than broadcasting for many applications. The host interface has
standardized in RFC-1112; however, multicast-routing gateways are
the experimental stage and are not widely available. An
host should support all of RFC-1112, except for the IGMP
itself which is optional; see RFC-1122 for more details.
without IGMP, implementation of RFC-1112 will provide an
advance: IP-layer access to local network multicast addressing.
is expected that IGMP will become recommended for all hosts
gateways at some future date
SMI, MIB-II SNMP -- The Internet Architecture Board recommends
all IP and TCP implementations be network manageable. At the
time, this implies implementation of the Internet MIB-II (RFC-1213),
and at least the recommended management protocol SNMP (RFC-1157).
RIP -- The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is widely
and used in the Internet. However, both implementors and
should be aware that RIP has some serious technical limitations as
routing protocol. The IETF is currently developing
candidates for a new standard "open" routing protocol with
properties than RIP. The IAB urges the Internet community to
these developments, and to implement the new protocol when it
standardized; improved Internet service will result for many users
TP-TCP -- As OSI protocols become more widely implemented and used
there will be an increasing need to support interoperation with
TCP/IP protocols. The Internet Engineering Task Force is
strategies for interoperation. RFC-1006 provides one
mode, in which TCP/IP is used to emulate TP0 in order to support
applications. Hosts that wish to run OSI connection-
applications in this mode should use the procedure described in RFC
1006. In the future, the IAB expects that a major portion of
Internet will support both TCP/IP and OSI (inter-)network
in parallel, and it will then be possible to run OSI
across the Internet using full OSI protocol "stacks".

if you see any problems within the linking, don't worry be happy,
