Description
As the Internet continues to grow at a frightening rate, the myriad of standards and technical rules for Internet use are being compiled as part of a huge list called RFC (Requests for Comments). Unfortunately, this is of little use to network professionals as it remains simply a massive list, with no analysis or guidance to make the standards relevant. This book, the first in the "Internet Standards Series", offers a standards tutorial, explaining what the RFCs are, the RFC editing process, different types of RFC, how standards are developed and selected, and where to find text of RFCs and Internet standards. It features a fully searchable and hyperlinked CD-ROM with book buyer-only access to relevant standards updates.
