Who is the Internet Engineering Task Force?

The results and recommendations of a working group are usually presented to the Internet community in "documents" called Request for Comments (RFCs). RFCs are widely available from many Internet sites, through e-mail and via anonymous ftp. To obtain RFCs, see the following:

• http://ds.internic.net/ds/dspg1intdoc.html
• http://info.internet.isi.edu/1/in-notes/rfc
• Use RFC-Info by sending e-mail messages to [email protected].
  To get a specific RFC send a message with text as follows:

  Retrieve: RFC
  Doc-ID: RFC1500

  This gets RFC 1500. All RFC numbers in the Doc-Id are 4 digits (RFC 791 would be Doc-ID: RFC0791).
