Experimental RFCs

Experimental RFCs (Request for Comments) are documents that propose new ideas, technologies, or methods for the internet and computer networking. They are used by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to share and explore innovative concepts that are not yet standardized. These RFCs serve as a testing ground for experimental protocols or procedures, allowing researchers and developers to evaluate their effectiveness. While they are not official standards, they provide valuable insights that can lead to eventual standardization if successful. Essentially, they facilitate experimentation and discussion in the tech community to improve internet technologies.
