Introduction

   A discussion of the standardization process and the RFC document
   series is presented first, followed by an explanation of the terms.
   Sections 6.2 - 6.10 contain the lists of protocols in each stage of
   standardization.  Finally are pointers to references and contacts for
   further information.

   This memo is intended to be issued every one hundred RFCs; please be
   sure the copy you are reading is current.  Current copies may be
   obtained from the Requests for Comments Editor (RFC-EDITOR) or from
   the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) (see the contact
   information at the end of this memo).

   See Section 6.1 for a description of recent changes.  In the official
   lists in sections 6.2 - 6.10, an asterisk (*) next to a protocol
   denotes that it is new to this document or has been moved from one
   protocol level to another, or differs from the previous edition of
   this document.
