RFCs (Request for Comments)

Request for Comments (RFCs) are a series of publications that describe the standards, protocols, and technologies used on the internet and related networks. Originally started by developers and researchers as a way to share ideas and seek feedback, RFCs have become a formal way to document guidelines and specifications. Each RFC is assigned a unique number and can cover a wide range of topics, from technical standards to best practices. They are essential for the ongoing development and maintenance of internet technologies, ensuring consistency and interoperability among different systems and applications.
