RFC Editor

The Requests for Comments (RFCs) are a series of notes, started in 1969, about the Internet (originally the ARPANET). The notes discuss many aspects of computing and computer communication focusing in networking protocols, procedures, programs, and concepts, but also including meeting notes, opinion, and sometimes humor.

The specification documents of the Internet protocol suite, as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and its steering group (the IESG), are published as RFCs.

The RFC Editor is the publisher of the RFCs and is responsible for the final editorial review of the documents. The RFC Editor is chartered by the Internet Society (ISOC) and the Federal Network Council (FNC).

Suggestions about RFC publication, or submission of material to be considered for publication as an RFC should be sent via EMail to .

The RFC Editor is located at and operated by the Information Sciences Institute (ISI) of the University of Southern California (USC).
