It means: request for changes
RFCs (Request for Comments) provide a structured way for experts to collaboratively discuss and develop technical standards and protocols. This open process allows for diverse perspectives to be considered, leading to robust and well-vetted solutions. RFCs also enable transparency, allowing anyone to access and contribute to the development of internet standards.
RFCS stands for Regional Fund for Connectivity Solutions. It is a financial mechanism established by the Global Connectivity Association to help finance and accelerate the deployment of telecommunications infrastructure in underserved and unserved areas.
RFC 2616 defines HTTP 1.1. RFC 2818 defines the modern version of HTTPS.
yes, im actually trying to find the communication rfcs for accord 95 right now. but I know its possible for sure
For this purpose a standardization body IETF is present. there you can find number of RFCs for authentication techniques and methods. you can also checkout ietf.org
An RFC is a referral for comment. They are commonly used to define new, updated and existing internet protocols because they are constantly evolving. However, not all are technical, some are purely informational while others are humorous. They primarily allow the network working group to keep track of developments through a common, shared repository where contributors can receive comments from the group, and produce new RFCs based upon those comments. The very first RFC was published on the ARPA Network on 7th April 1969. The RFC repository is freely available to anyone who wishes to read the technical aspects and the evolution of all current and future internet protocols.
Actually, there can be an unlimited number of different message types for any network application, because each application can define what messages they send and understand. Certain protocols use defined message types (as defined in the RFCs), but any user application is free to choose the form of the message they wish to use.
There are several RFCs that discuss classless inter-domain-routing. I believe the most informative for a novice would be RFC 4632 which obsoletes RFC 1519. This RFC is aimed at the IPv4 32 bit addressing scheme. Discusses IPv4 address exhaustion. This was the primary reason for CIDR or VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Mask) Discusses original classful address ranges Class A, B and C This would be a good start
When you install Active Directory on a member server, the member server is promoted to a domain controller. Active Directory uses DNS as the location mechanism for domain controllers, enabling computers on the network to obtain IP addresses of domain controllers. During the installation of Active Directory, the service (SRV) and address (A) resource records are dynamically registered in DNS, which are necessary for the successful functionality of the domain controller locator (Locator) mechanism. To find domain controllers in a domain or forest, a client queries DNS for the SRV and A DNS resource records of the domain controller, which provide the client with the names and IP addresses of the domain controllers. In this context, the SRV and A resource records are referred to as Locator DNS resource records. When adding a domain controller to a forest, you are updating a DNS zone hosted on a DNS server with the Locator DNS resource records and identifying the domain controller. For this reason, the DNS zone must allow dynamic updates (RFC 2136) and the DNS server hosting that zone must support the SRV resource records (RFC 2782) to advertise the Active Directory directory service. For more information about RFCs, see DNS RFCs. If the DNS server hosting the authoritative DNS zone is not a server running Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003, contact your DNS administrator to determine if the DNS server supports the required standards. If the server does not support the required standards, or the authoritative DNS zone cannot be configured to allow dynamic updates, then modification is required to your existing DNS infrastructure.
That's like asking "How many ways can you get from the library to the post office?". There is no limit. There may be only a few efficient ways for getting directly from the library to the post office, but if you want to go by the bank on the way, you will invent your own path. Anyone can create their own protocols. New ones are created every day and most of them are hardly ever used, or may only be used by one person. There are common ones that you hear about like FTP, SMTP, etc. For a list of those, look in the RFCs ( http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-index.html ). I know one of them has a list of all the protocols. Not sure what it is, but I'll look that up and then post it here.
The web has no central "headquarters". The WWW is made up of several thousands of separate networks that are interconnected. These networks are publically and privately owned, and may be owned by a large corporation like Sprint or a small company like your local ISP. There are a number of organizations that have responsibility for different aspects of ensuring that the Internet continues to run properly and efficiently.Internet standards are created through the use of RFCs(Request For Comments) maintained by the IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force). The IETF is an international group of network designers, engineers, researchers, vendors and others who study different aspects of the Internet workings and come to agreement on the best ways to facilitate various tasks. Once they come to an agreement on the best way to perform a certain task, such as routing, a starndard is developed that all manufacturers of Internet equipment and developers of Internet software must comply with. Any network wishing to be connected to the Internet must be in compliance with these standards also.IP addresses and domain names come under the overview of ICANN(Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). ICANN is responsible for Internet Protocol (IP) address, space allocation, protocol identifier assignment, generic (gTLD) and country code (ccTLD) Top-Level Domain name system management, and root server system management functions.Web pages are produced using HTML(Hyper-Text Markup Language). The standards for this are somewhat looser than Internet RFCs as there isn't a single designated maintainer of these standards. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is probably the most prominent developer of HTML standards that web browser vendors seek to comply with. Because these standards aren't as strict, you'll see things such as web pages appearing differently when viewed through different browsers.
