Protocol Document Order Information
STATUS OF THIS MEMO
This RFC indicates how to obtain various protocol documents used in
the DARPA research community. Included is an overview of the new
1985 DDN Protocol Handbook and available sources for obtaining
related documents (such as, DoD, ISO, and CCITT). Distribution of
this memo is unlimited.
DOD INTERNET PROTOCOL DOCUMENTS:
How to get the Requests for Comments (RFCs):
RFCs are the working memos of the DARPA research community. The
subjects may include protocol specifications, interface
definitions, program descriptions, policy statements, trouble
reports, algorithms, announcements, and humor. These may range
from wild ideas and crazy suggestions, to firm specifications.
The normal method for distribution of RFCs is for interested
parties to copy the documents from the DDN Network Information
Center's (NIC) online library using FTP. Public access files may
be copied from the RFC directory on the SRI-NIC.ARPA host computer
via FTP with username ANONYMOUS and password GUEST. The pathname
of RFC nnn is RFC:RFCnnn.TXT.
Requests for special distribution should be addressed to either
the author of the RFC in question or to A. Unless
specifically noted otherwise on the RFC itself, all RFCs are for
unlimited distribution.
For hardcopy distribution from the NIC there is a charge of $5 for
each RFC that is less than 100 pages, and $10 for each RFC that is
100 pages or more to cover the cost of postage and handling
(check, money order, or purchase order accepted).
