RFC (Request for Comments)

RFC, or Request for Comments, is a series of documents used to develop and share standards for the internet and related technologies. Created by engineers and computer scientists, RFCs cover various topics, including protocols, procedures, and concepts. Each document is assigned a unique number and can be viewed as a formal proposal or guideline. While some RFCs become official standards, others might be informational or experimental. They are essential for ensuring that systems and technologies work together effectively, facilitating global communication and collaboration over the internet.
