Supplemental Web Sites

To see the source Request for Comment documents (RFCs), visit the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) web site at:

• https:www.ietf.org

Each RFC is stored in a document under:

https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc<dddd>.txt

where <dddd> is the RFC number, e.g.,

https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2246.txt

for example.

All of the standards documents referenced in this book are freely available and downloadable. I try to explain the background information that the standards documents always seem to take for granted. I am assuming that if you are interested in the low-level detail you can always refer to the standards document itself.
