RFC 951 Bootstrap Protocol
 
Authors:W.J. Croft, J. Gilmore.
Date:September 1985
Formats:txt json html
Updated by:RFC 1395, RFC 1497, RFC 1532, RFC 1542, RFC 5494
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 0951
This RFC describes an IP/UDP bootstrap protocol (BOOTP) which allows a diskless client machine to discover its own IP address, the address of a server host, and the name of a file to be loaded into memory and executed. The bootstrap operation can be thought of as consisting of TWO PHASES. This RFC describes the first phase, which could be labeled `address determination and bootfile selection'. After this address and filename information is obtained, control passes to the second phase of the bootstrap where a file transfer occurs. The file transfer will typically use the TFTP protocol, since it is intended that both phases reside in PROM on the client. However BOOTP could also work with other protocols such as SFTP or FTP. This RFC suggests a proposed protocol for the ARPA-Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.

RFC 1171 Point-to-Point Protocol for the transmission of multi-protocol datagrams over Point-to-Point links
 
Authors:D. Perkins.
Date:July 1990
Formats:txt html json
Obsoletes:RFC 1134
Obsoleted by:RFC 1331
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1171
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a method for transmitting datagrams over serial point-to-point links. PPP is composed of three parts:

1. A method for encapsulating datagrams over serial links.

2. An extensible Link Control Protocol (LCP).

3. A family of Network Control Protocols (NCP) for establishing and configuring different network-layer protocols.

This document defines the encapsulation scheme, the basic LCP, and anNCP for establishing and configuring the Internet Protocol (IP)(called the IP Control Protocol, IPCP).

The options and facilities used by the LCP and the IPCP are defined in separate documents. Control protocols for configuring and utilizing other network-layer protocols besides IP (e.g., DECNET,OSI) are expected to be developed as needed.

RFC 1191 Path MTU discovery
 
Authors:J. Mogul, S. Deering.
Date:November 1990
Formats:txt html json
Obsoletes:RFC 1063
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1191
This memo describes a technique for dynamically discovering the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of an arbitrary internet path. It specifies a small change to the way routers generate one type of ICMP message. For a path that passes through a router that has not been so changed, this technique might not discover the correct Path MTU, but it will always choose a Path MTU as accurate as, and in many cases more accurate than, the Path MTU that would be chosen by current practice.

RFC 1356 Multiprotocol Interconnect on X.25 and ISDN in the Packet Mode
 
Authors:A. Malis, D. Robinson, R. Ullmann.
Date:August 1992
Formats:txt json html
Obsoletes:RFC 0877
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1356
This document specifies the encapsulation of IP and other network layer protocols over X.25 networks, in accordance and alignment withISO/IEC and CCITT standards. It is a replacement for RFC 877, "AStandard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams Over Public DataNetworks" [1].

It was written to correct several ambiguities in the InternetStandard for IP/X.25 (RFC 877), to align it with ISO/IEC standards that have been written following RFC 877, to allow interoperable multiprotocol operation between routers and bridges over X.25, and to add some additional remarks based upon practical experience with the specification over the 8 years since that RFC.

The substantive change to the IP encapsulation is an increase in the allowed IP datagram Maximum Transmission Unit from 576 to 1600, to reflect existing practice.

This document also specifies the Internet encapsulation for protocols, including IP, on the packet mode of the ISDN. It applies to the use of Internet protocols on the ISDN in the circuit mode only when the circuit is established as an end-to-end X.25 connection.

RFC 1521 MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) Part One: Mechanisms for Specifying and Describing the Format of Internet Message Bodies
 
Authors:N. Borenstein, N. Freed.
Date:September 1993
Formats:txt pdf ps json html
Obsoletes:RFC 1341
Obsoleted by:RFC 2045, RFC 2046, RFC 2047, RFC 2048, RFC 2049
Updated by:RFC 1590
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1521
STD 11, RFC 822 defines a message representation protocol which specifies considerable detail about message headers, but which leaves the message content, or message body, as flat ASCII text. This document redefines the format of message bodies to allow multi-part textual and non-textual message bodies to be represented and exchanged without loss of information. This is based on earlier work documented in RFC 934 and STD 11, RFC 1049, but extends and revises that work. Because RFC 822 said so little about message bodies, this document is largely orthogonal to (rather than a revision of) RFC822.

In particular, this document is designed to provide facilities to include multiple objects in a single message, to represent body text in character sets other than US-ASCII, to represent formatted multi- font text messages, to represent non-textual material such as images and audio fragments, and generally to facilitate later extensions defining new types of Internet mail for use by cooperating mail agents.

This document does NOT extend Internet mail header fields to permit anything other than US-ASCII text data. Such extensions are the subject of a companion document [RFC-1522].

This document is a revision of RFC 1341. Significant differences from RFC 1341 are summarized in Appendix H.

RFC 1542 Clarifications and Extensions for the Bootstrap Protocol
 
Authors:W. Wimer.
Date:October 1993
Formats:txt json html
Obsoletes:RFC 1532
Updates:RFC 0951
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1542
Some aspects of the BOOTP protocol were rather loosely defined in its original specification. In particular, only a general description was provided for the behavior of "BOOTP relay agents" (originally called BOOTP forwarding agents"). The client behavior description also suffered in certain ways. This memo attempts to clarify and strengthen the specification in these areas. Due to some errors introduced into RFC 1532 in the editorial process, this memo is reissued as RFC 1542.

In addition, new issues have arisen since the original specification was written. This memo also attempts to address some of these.

 
RFC 1548 The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)

Obsoletes:RFC 1331
Obsoleted by:RFC 1661
Updated by:RFC 1570
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1548
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method for transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links. PPP is comprised of three main components:

1. A method for encapsulating multi-protocol datagrams.

2. A Link Control Protocol (LCP) for establishing, configuring, and testing the data-link connection.

3. A family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing and configuring different network-layer protocols.

This document defines the PPP organization and methodology, and thePPP encapsulation, together with an extensible option negotiation mechanism which is able to negotiate a rich assortment of configuration parameters and provides additional management functions. The PPP Link Control Protocol (LCP) is described in terms of this mechanism.

This document is the product of the Point-to-Point Protocol WorkingGroup of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Comments should be submitted to the ietf-ppp@ucdavis.edu mailing list.

RFC 1583 OSPF Version 2
 
Authors:J. Moy.
Date:March 1994
Formats:txt pdf json ps html
Obsoletes:RFC 1247
Obsoleted by:RFC 2178
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1583
This memo documents version 2 of the OSPF protocol. OSPF is a link-state routing protocol. It is designed to be run internal to a single Autonomous System. Each OSPF router maintains an identical database describing the Autonomous System's topology. From this database, a routing table is calculated by constructing a shortest- path tree.

OSPF recalculates routes quickly in the face of topological changes, utilizing a minimum of routing protocol traffic. OSPF provides support for equal-cost multipath. Separate routes can be calculated for each IP Type of Service. An area routing capability is provided, enabling an additional level of routing protection and a reduction in routing protocol traffic. In addition, all OSPF routing protocol exchanges are authenticated.

OSPF Version 2 was originally documented in RFC 1247. The differences between RFC 1247 and this memo are explained in AppendixE. The differences consist of bug fixes and clarifications, and are backward-compatible in nature. Implementations of RFC 1247 and of this memo will interoperate.

RFC 1629 Guidelines for OSI NSAP Allocation in the Internet
 
Authors:R. Colella, R. Callon, E. Gardner, Y. Rekhter.
Date:May 1994
Formats:txt html json
Obsoletes:RFC 1237
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 1629
CLNP is currently being deployed in the Internet. This is useful to support OSI and DECnet(tm) traffic. In addition, CLNP has been proposed as a possible IPng candidate, to provide a long-term solution to IP address exhaustion. Required as part of the CLNP infrastructure are guidelines for network service access point (NSAP) address assignment. This paper provides guidelines for allocatingNSAP addresses in the Internet.

The guidelines provided in this paper have been the basis for initial deployment of CLNP in the Internet, and have proven very valuable both as an aid to scaling of CLNP routing, and for address administration.

The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] provides a standard method of encapsulating Network Layer protocol information over point-to-point links. PPP also defines an extensible Link Control Protocol, and proposes a family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing and configuring different network-layer protocols.

This document defines the NCP for establishing and configuringDigital's DNA Phase IV Routing protocol (DECnet Phase IV) over PPP.This document applies only to DNA Phase IV Routing messages (both data and control), and not to other DNA Phase IV protocols (MOP, LAT, etc).

This document proposes a method for splitting, recombining and sequencing datagrams across multiple logical data links. This work was originally motivated by the desire to exploit multiple bearer channels in ISDN, but is equally applicable to any situation in which multiple PPP links connect two systems, including async links. This is accomplished by means of new PPP [2] options and protocols.

The differences between the current PPP Multilink specification (RFC1717) and this memo are explained in Section 11. Any system implementing the additional restrictions required by this memo will be backwards compatible with conforming RFC 1717 implementations.

Date:January 1997
Formats:txt json html
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2067
ANSI Standard X3.218-1993 (HIPPI-LE[3]) defines the encapsulation ofIEEE 802.2 LLC PDUs and, by implication, IP on HIPPI. ANSI X3.222-1993 (HIPPI-SC[4]) describes the operation of HIPPI physical switches. The ANSI committee responsible for these standards chose to leave HIPPI networking issues largely outside the scope of their standards; this document describes the use of HIPPI switches as IP local area networks.

This memo is a revision of RFC 1374, "IP and ARP on HIPPI", and is intended to replace it in the Standards Track. RFC 1374 has been aProposed Standard since November, 1992, with at least 10 implementations of IP encapsulation and HIPPI switch discipline. No major changes to it are required. However, the ARP part of RFC 1374 has not had sufficient implementation experience to be advanced toDraft Standard. The present document contains all of RFC 1374 except for the description ARP, which has been moved into a separate document.

The data items themselves are also called"options."

This document specifies the current set of DHCP options. Future options will be specified in separate RFCs. The current list of valid options is also available in ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in- notes/iana/assignments [22].

All of the vendor information extensions defined in RFC 1497 [2] may be used as DHCP options. The definitions given in RFC 1497 are included in this document, which supersedes RFC 1497. All of theDHCP options defined in this document, except for those specific toDHCP as defined in section 9, may be used as BOOTP vendor information extensions.

This memo documents version 2 of the OSPF protocol. OSPF is a link- state routing protocol. It is designed to be run internal to a single Autonomous System. Each OSPF router maintains an identical database describing the Autonomous System's topology. From this database, a routing table is calculated by constructing a shortest- path tree.

OSPF recalculates routes quickly in the face of topological changes, utilizing a minimum of routing protocol traffic. OSPF provides support for equal-cost multipath. An area routing capability is provided, enabling an additional level of routing protection and a reduction in routing protocol traffic. In addition, all OSPF routing protocol exchanges are authenticated.

The differences between this memo and RFC 1583 are explained inAppendix G. All differences are backward-compatible in nature.Implementations of this memo and of RFC 1583 will interoperate.

ISO/IEC 10646-1 defines a multi-octet character set called theUniversal Character Set (UCS) which encompasses most of the world's writing systems. Multi-octet characters, however, are not compatible with many current applications and protocols, and this has led to the development of a few so-called UCS transformation formats (UTF), each with different characteristics. UTF-8, the object of this memo, has the characteristic of preserving the full US-ASCII range, providing compatibility with file systems, parsers and other software that rely on US-ASCII values but are transparent to other values. This memo updates and replaces RFC 2044, in particular addressing the question of versions of the relevant standards.

Status:DRAFT STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2348
The Trivial File Transfer Protocol [1] is a simple, lock-step, file transfer protocol which allows a client to get or put a file onto a remote host. One of its primary uses is the booting of diskless nodes on a Local Area Network. TFTP is used because it is very simple to implement in a small node's limited ROM space. However, the choice of a 512-octet blocksize is not the most efficient for use on a LAN whose MTU may 1500 octets or greater.

This document describes a TFTP option which allows the client and server to negotiate a blocksize more applicable to the network medium. The TFTP Option Extension mechanism is described in [2].

This document describes a protocol that more fully supports 3270 devices than do traditional tn3270 practices. Specifically, it defines a method of emulating both the terminal and printer members of the 3270 family of devices via Telnet; it provides for the ability of a Telnet client to request that it be assigned a specific device- name (also referred to as "LU name" or "network name"); finally, it adds support for a variety of functions such as the ATTN key, theSYSREQ key, and SNA response handling.

This protocol is negotiated under the TN3270E Telnet Option, and is unrelated to the Telnet 3270 Regime Option as defined in RFC 1041[1].

This document defines a grammar that is a superset of all valid URI, such that an implementation can parse the common components of a URI reference without knowing the scheme-specific requirements of every possible identifier type. This document does not define a generative grammar for URI; that task will be performed by the individual specifications of each URI scheme.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 2462
This document specifies the steps a host takes in deciding how to autoconfigure its interfaces in IP version 6. The autoconfiguration process includes creating a link-local address and verifying its uniqueness on a link, determining what information should be autoconfigured (addresses, other information, or both), and in the case of addresses, whether they should be obtained through the stateless mechanism, the stateful mechanism, or both. This document defines the process for generating a link-local address, the process for generating site-local and global addresses via stateless address autoconfiguration, and the Duplicate Address Detection procedure. The details of autoconfiguration using the stateful protocol are specified elsewhere.

Status:DRAFT STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2616
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless, protocol which can be used for many tasks beyond its use for hypertext, such as name servers and distributed object management systems, through extension of its request methods, error codes and headers [47]. A feature of HTTP is the typing and negotiation of data representation, allowing systems to be built independently of the data being transferred.

HTTP has been in use by the World-Wide Web global information initiative since 1990. This specification defines the protocol referred to as "HTTP/1.1", and is an update to RFC 2068 [33].

 
RFC 2617 HTTP Authentication: Basic and Digest Access Authentication

Obsoletes:RFC 2069
Obsoleted by:RFC 7235, RFC 7615, RFC 7616, RFC 7617
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 2617
"HTTP/1.0", includes the specification for a Basic AccessAuthentication scheme. This scheme is not considered to be a secure method of user authentication (unless used in conjunction with some external secure system such as SSL [5]), as the user name and password are passed over the network as cleartext.

This document also provides the specification for HTTP's authentication framework, the original Basic authentication scheme and a scheme based on cryptographic hashes, referred to as "DigestAccess Authentication". It is therefore also intended to serve as a replacement for RFC 2069 [6]. Some optional elements specified byRFC 2069 have been removed from this specification due to problems found since its publication; other new elements have been added for compatibility, those new elements have been made optional, but are strongly recommended.

Like Basic, Digest access authentication verifies that both parties to a communication know a shared secret (a password); unlike Basic, this verification can be done without sending the password in the clear, which is Basic's biggest weakness. As with most other authentication protocols, the greatest sources of risks are usually found not in the core protocol itself but in policies and procedures surrounding its use.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 2790
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.This memo obsoletes RFC 1514, the "Host Resources MIB". This memo extends that specification by clarifying changes based on implementation and deployment experience and documenting the HostResources MIB in SMIv2 format while remaining semantically identical to the existing SMIv1-based MIB.

This memo defines a MIB for use with managing host systems. The term"host" is construed to mean any computer that communicates with other similar computers attached to the internet and that is directly used by one or more human beings. Although this MIB does not necessarily apply to devices whose primary function is communications services(e.g., terminal servers, routers, bridges, monitoring equipment), such relevance is not explicitly precluded. This MIB instruments attributes common to all internet hosts including, for example, both personal computers and systems that run variants of Unix.

This memo defines a Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) content-type that may be used by a message transfer agent (MTA) or electronic mail gateway to report the result of an attempt to deliver a message to one or more recipients. This content-type is intended as a machine-processable replacement for the various types of delivery status notifications currently used in Internet electronic mail.

Because many messages are sent between the Internet and other messaging systems (such as X.400 or the so-called "Local Area Network(LAN)-based" systems), the Delivery Status Notification (DSN) protocol is designed to be useful in a multi-protocol messaging environment. To this end, the protocol described in this memo provides for the carriage of "foreign" addresses and error codes, in addition to those normally used in Internet mail. Additional attributes may also be defined to support "tunneling" of foreign notifications through Internet mail.

Obsoletes:RFC 2338
Obsoleted by:RFC 5798
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 3768
This memo defines the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP).VRRP specifies an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility for a virtual router to one of the VRRP routers on aLAN. The VRRP router controlling the IP address(es) associated with a virtual router is called the Master, and forwards packets sent to these IP addresses. The election process provides dynamic fail over in the forwarding responsibility should the Master become unavailable. This allows any of the virtual router IP addresses on the LAN to be used as the default first hop router by end-hosts. The advantage gained from using VRRP is a higher availability default path without requiring configuration of dynamic routing or router discovery protocols on every end-host.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 3798
This memo defines a MIME content-type that may be used by a mail user agent (MUA) or electronic mail gateway to report the disposition of a message after it has been successfully delivered to a recipient.This content-type is intended to be machine-processable. Additional message headers are also defined to permit Message DispositionNotifications (MDNs) to be requested by the sender of a message. The purpose is to extend Internet Mail to support functionality often found in other messaging systems, such as X.400 and the proprietary"LAN-based" systems, and often referred to as "read receipts,""acknowledgements", or "receipt notifications." The intention is to do this while respecting privacy concerns, which have often been expressed when such functions have been discussed in the past.

Because many messages are sent between the Internet and other messaging systems (such as X.400 or the proprietary "LAN-based" systems), the MDN protocol is designed to be useful in a multi- protocol messaging environment. To this end, the protocol described in this memo provides for the carriage of "foreign" addresses, in addition to those normally used in Internet Mail. Additional attributes may also be defined to support "tunneling" of foreign notifications through Internet Mail.

This document specifies a restricted profile of the Internet multimedia messaging protocols for use between voice processing server platforms. The profile is referred to as the Voice Profile for Internet Mail (VPIM) in this document. These platforms have historically been special-purpose computers and often do not have the same facilities normally associated with a traditional InternetEmail-capable computer. As a result, VPIM also specifies additional functionality, as it is needed. This profile is intended to specify the minimum common set of features to allow interworking between conforming systems.

This document obsoletes RFC 2421 and describes version 2 of the profile with greater precision. No protocol changes were made in this revision. A list of changes from RFC 2421 are noted in AppendixF. Appendix A summarizes the protocol profiles of this version ofVPIM.

Over the years, a modified version of Backus-Naur Form(BNF), called Augmented BNF (ABNF), has been popular among manyInternet specifications. The current specification documents ABNF.It balances compactness and simplicity, with reasonable representational power. The differences between standard BNF andABNF involve naming rules, repetition, alternatives, order- independence, and value ranges. This specification also supplies additional rule definitions and encoding for a core lexical analyzer of the type common to several Internet specifications.
 
RFC 4271 A Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4)

Status:DRAFT STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4271
This document discusses the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), which is an inter-Autonomous System routing protocol.

The primary function of a BGP speaking system is to exchange network reachability information with other BGP systems. This network reachability information includes information on the list ofAutonomous Systems (ASes) that reachability information traverses.This information is sufficient for constructing a graph of AS connectivity for this reachability from which routing loops may be pruned, and, at the AS level, some policy decisions may be enforced.

BGP-4 provides a set of mechanisms for supporting Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR). These mechanisms include support for advertising a set of destinations as an IP prefix, and eliminating the concept of network "class" within BGP. BGP-4 also introduces mechanisms that allow aggregation of routes, including aggregation ofAS paths.

This document obsoletes RFC 1771.

Obsoletes:RFC 2476
Obsoleted by:RFC 6409
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4409
This memo splits message submission from message relay, allowing each service to operate according to its own rules (for security, policy, etc.), and specifies what actions are to be taken by a submission server.

Message relay and final delivery are unaffected, and continue to useSMTP over port 25.

When conforming to this document, message submission uses the protocol specified here, normally over port 587.

This separation of function offers a number of benefits, including the ability to apply specific security or policy requirements.

 
RFC 4456 BGP Route Reflection: An Alternative to Full Mesh Internal BGP (IBGP)

Updated by:RFC 7606
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 4456
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an inter-autonomous system routing protocol designed for TCP/IP internets. Typically, all BGP speakers within a single AS must be fully meshed so that any external routing information must be re-distributed to all other routers within that Autonomous System (AS). This represents a serious scaling problem that has been well documented with several alternatives proposed.

This document describes the use and design of a method known as"route reflection" to alleviate the need for "full mesh" Internal BGP(IBGP).

Nodes use IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration to generate addresses using a combination of locally available information and information advertised by routers. Addresses are formed by combining network prefixes with an interface identifier. On an interface that contains an embedded IEEE Identifier, the interface identifier is typically derived from it. On other interface types, the interface identifier is generated through other means, for example, via random number generation. This document describes an extension to IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration for interfaces whose interface identifier is derived from an IEEE identifier. Use of the extension causes nodes to generate global scope addresses from interface identifiers that change over time, even in cases where the interface contains an embedded IEEE identifier. Changing the interface identifier (and the global scope addresses generated from it) over time makes it more difficult for eavesdroppers and other information collectors to identify when different addresses used in different transactions actually correspond to the same node.

DOI:10.17487/RFC 5036
The architecture for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is described in RFC 3031. A fundamental concept in MPLS is that twoLabel Switching Routers (LSRs) must agree on the meaning of the labels used to forward traffic between and through them. This common understanding is achieved by using a set of procedures, called a label distribution protocol, by which one LSR informs another of label bindings it has made. This document defines a set of such procedures called LDP (for Label Distribution Protocol) by which LSRs distribute labels to support MPLS forwarding along normally routed paths.

Obsoletes:RFC 3065
Status:DRAFT STANDARD
DOI:10.17487/RFC 5065
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an inter-autonomous system routing protocol designed for Transmission Control Protocol/InternetProtocol (TCP/IP) networks. BGP requires that all BGP speakers within a single autonomous system (AS) must be fully meshed. This represents a serious scaling problem that has been well documented in a number of proposals.

This document describes an extension to BGP that may be used to create a confederation of autonomous systems that is represented as a single autonomous system to BGP peers external to the confederation, thereby removing the "full mesh" requirement. The intention of this extension is to aid in policy administration and reduce the management complexity of maintaining a large autonomous system.
