SUMMARY
This article describes how to obtain Request For Comments (RFC) documents from the Internet.
MORE INFORMATION
RFCs may be obtained by using e-mail or the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) from many RFC repositories. Primary Repositories should have the RFC available when it is first announced. Secondary Repositories may have the RFC available when it is first announced or they may need a few days to obtain the most recent RFCs.
Many of these repositories now have World Wide Web servers. The following Web site has more information about RFCs:

RFCs can be obtained by FTP from any of the following Web sites:
nis.nsf.net nisc.jvnc.net ftp.isi.edu wuarchive.wustl.edu src.doc.ic.ac.uk ftp.ncren.net ftp.sesqui.net ftp.nic.it ftp.imag.fr
To obtain RFCs from nis.nsf.net by using FTP, use the following steps:
