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.
