Finally are pointers to references and contacts for + further information. + + This memo is intended to be issued approximately quarterly; please be + sure the copy you are reading is current. Current copies may be + obtained from the Network Information Center (INTERNIC) or from the + Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) (see the contact + information at the end of this memo). Do not use this edition after + 15-July-96. + + See Section 6.1 for a description of recent changes. In the official + lists in sections 6.2 - 6.10, an asterisk (*) next to a protocol + denotes that it is new to this document or has been moved from one + protocol level to another, or differs from the previous edition of + this document. + + + + + + + + +Internet Architecture Board Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 1920 Internet Standards March 1996 + + +1. The Standardization Process + + The Internet Architecture Board maintains this list of documents that + define standards for the Internet protocol suite. See RFC-1601 for + the charter of the IAB and RFC-1160 for an explanation of the role + and organization of the IAB and its subsidiary groups, the Internet + Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the Internet Research Task Force + (IRTF). Each of these groups has a steering group called the IESG + and IRSG, respectively. The IETF develops these standards with the + goal of co-ordinating the evolution of the Internet protocols; this + co-ordination has become quite important as the Internet protocols + are increasingly in general commercial use. The definitive + description of the Internet standards process is found in RFC-1602. + + The majority of Internet protocol development and standardization + activity takes place in the working groups of the IETF. + + Protocols which are to become standards in the Internet go through a + series of states or maturity levels (proposed standard, draft + standard, and standard) involving increasing amounts of scrutiny and + testing. When a protocol completes this process it is assigned a STD + number (see RFC-1311). At each step, the Internet Engineering + Steering Group (IESG) of the IETF must make a recommendation for + advancement of the protocol. + + To allow time for the Internet community to consider and react to + standardization proposals, a minimum delay of 6 months before a + proposed standard can be advanced to a draft standard and 4 months + before a draft standard can be promoted to standard. + + It is general practice that no proposed standard can be promoted to + draft standard without at least two independent implementations (and + the recommendation of the IESG). Promotion from draft standard to + standard generally requires operational experience and demonstrated + interoperability of two or more implementations (and the + recommendation of the IESG). + + In cases where there is uncertainty as to the proper decision + concerning a protocol a special review committee may be appointed + consisting of experts from the IETF, IRTF and the IAB with the + purpose of recommending an explicit action. + + Advancement of a protocol to proposed standard is an important step + since it marks a protocol as a candidate for eventual standardization + (it puts the protocol "on the standards track"). Advancement to + draft standard is a major step which warns the community that, unless + major objections are raised or flaws are discovered, the protocol is + likely to be advanced to standard in six months. + + + +Internet Architecture Board Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 1920 Internet Standards March 1996 + + + Some protocols have been superseded by better ones or are otherwise + unused. Such protocols are still documented in this memorandum with + the designation "historic". + + Because it is useful to document the results of early protocol + research and development work, some of the RFCs document protocols + which are still in an experimental condition. The protocols are + designated "experimental" in this memorandum. They appear in this + report as a convenience to the community and not as evidence of their + standardization. + + Other protocols, such as those developed by other standards + organizations, or by particular vendors, may be of interest or may be + recommended for use in the Internet. The specifications of such + protocols may be published as RFCs for the convenience of the + Internet community. These protocols are labeled "informational" in + this memorandum. + + In addition to the working groups of the IETF, protocol development + and experimentation may take place as a result of the work of the + research groups of the Internet Research Task Force, or the work of + other individuals interested in Internet protocol development. The + the documentation of such experimental work in the RFC series is + encouraged, but none of this work is considered to be on the track + for standardization until the IESG has made a recommendation to + advance the protocol to the proposed standard state. + + A few protocols have achieved widespread implementation without the + approval of the IESG. For example, some vendor protocols have become + very important to the Internet community even though they have not + been recommended by the IESG. However, the IAB strongly recommends + that the standards process be used in the evolution of the protocol + suite to maximize interoperability (and to prevent incompatible + protocol requirements from arising). The use of the terms + "standard", "draft standard", and "proposed standard" are reserved in + any RFC or other publication of Internet protocols to only those + protocols which the IESG has approved. + + In addition to a state (like "Proposed Standard"), a protocol is also + assigned a status, or requirement level, in this document. The + possible requirement levels ("Required", "Recommended", "Elective", + "Limited Use", and "Not Recommended") are defined in Section 4.2. + When a protocol is on the standards track, that is in the proposed + standard, draft standard, or standard state (see Section 5), the + status shown in Section 6 is the current status. + + Few protocols are required to be implemented in all systems; this is + because there is such a variety of possible systems, for example, + + + +Internet Architecture Board Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 1920 Internet Standards March 1996 + + + gateways, routers, terminal servers, workstations, and multi-user + hosts. The requirement level shown in this document is only a one + word label, which may not be sufficient to characterize the + implementation requirements for a protocol in all situations. For + some protocols, this document contains an additional status paragraph + (an applicability statement). In addition, more detailed status + information may be contained in separate requirements documents (see + Section 3). + +2. The Request for Comments Documents + + The documents called Request for Comments (or RFCs) are the working + notes of the "Network Working Group", that is the Internet research + and development community. A document in this series may be on + essentially any topic related to computer communication, and may be + anything from a meeting report to the specification of a standard. + + Notice: + + All standards are published as RFCs, but not all RFCs specify + standards. + + Anyone can submit a document for publication as an RFC. Submissions + must be made via electronic mail to the RFC Editor (see the contact + information at the end of this memo, and see RFC 1543). + + While RFCs are not refereed publications, they do receive technical + review from the task forces, individual technical experts, or the RFC + Editor, as appropriate. + + The RFC series comprises a wide range of documents, ranging from + informational documents of general interests to specifications of + standard Internet protocols. In cases where submission is intended + to document a proposed standard, draft standard, or standard + protocol, the RFC Editor will publish the document only with the + approval of the IESG. For documents describing experimental work, + the RFC Editor will notify the IESG before publication, allowing for + the possibility of review by the relevant IETF working group or IRTF + research group and provide those comments to the author. See Section + 5.1 for more detail. + + Once a document is assigned an RFC number and published, that RFC is + never revised or re-issued with the same number. There is never a + question of having the most recent version of a particular RFC. + However, a protocol (such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP)) may be + improved and re-documented many times in several different RFCs. It + is important to verify that you have the most recent RFC on a + particular protocol. This "Internet Official Protocol Standards" + + + +Internet Architecture Board Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 1920 Internet Standards March 1996 + + + memo is the reference for determining the correct RFC for the current + specification of each protocol. + + The RFCs are available from the INTERNIC, and a number of other + sites. For more information about obtaining RFCs, see Sections 7.4 + and 7.5. + +3. Other Reference Documents + + There are three other reference documents of interest in checking the + current status of protocol specifications and standardization. These + are the Assigned Numbers, the Gateway Requirements, and the Host + Requirements. Note that these documents are revised and updated at + different times; in case of differences between these documents, the + most recent must prevail. + + Also, one should be aware of the MIL-STD publications on IP, TCP, + Telnet, FTP, and SMTP. These are described in Section 3.4. + +3.1. Assigned Numbers + + The "Assigned Numbers" document lists the assigned values of the + parameters used in the various protocols. For example, IP protocol + codes, TCP port numbers, Telnet Option Codes, ARP hardware types, and + Terminal Type names. Assigned Numbers was most recently issued as + RFC-1700. + +3.2. Requirements for IP Version 4 Routers + + This document reviews the specifications that apply to gateways and + supplies guidance and clarification for any ambiguities. + Requirements for IP Version 4 Routers is RFC-1812. + +3.3. Host Requirements + + This pair of documents reviews and updates the specifications that + apply to hosts, and it supplies guidance and clarification for any + ambiguities. Host Requirements was issued as RFC-1122 and RFC-1123. + +3.4. The MIL-STD Documents + + The Internet community specifications for IP (RFC-791) and TCP (RFC- + 793) and the DoD MIL-STD specifications are intended to describe + exactly the same protocols. Any difference in the protocols + specified by these sets of documents should be reported to DISA and + to the IESG. It is strongly advised that the two sets of documents + be used together, along with RFC-1122 and RFC-1123. + + + + +Internet Architecture Board Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 1920 Internet Standards March 1996 + + + Note that these MIL-STD are now somewhat out of date. The + Requirements for IP Version 4 Routers (RFC-1812) and Host + Requirements (RFC-1122, RFC-1123) take precedence over both earlier + RFCs and the MIL-STDs. + + 2045-13501 Internet Routing between Autonomous Systems + + 2045-14502-01 Internet Transport Profile for DoD + Communications, Part 1: Transport and Internet Services + + 2045-14502-04 Internet Transport Profile for DoD + Communications, Part 4: LAN Media-Independent Requirements + + 2045-14503 Internet Transport Service Supporting OSI + Applications + + 2045-44500 Tactical Communications + + 2045-17503-01 Internet Message Transfer Profile for DoD + Communications Part 1: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol + + 2045-17503-02 Internet Message Transfer Profile for DoD + Communications Part 2: Format of Text Messages + + 2045-17504 Internet File Transfer Profile for DoD + Communications + + 2045-17505 Internet Domain Name Service (DNS) Profile for DoD + Communications + + 2045-17506 Internet Remote Login (RLOGIN) Profile for DoD + Communications + + 2045-17507 Internet Network Management Profile for DoD + Communications + + 2045-38000 DoD Network Management for DoD Communications + + These documents are available from the Naval Publications and Forms + Center.

Explanation of Terms + + There are two independent categorization of protocols. The first is + the "maturity level" or STATE of standardization, one of "standard", + "draft standard", "proposed standard", "experimental", + "informational" or "historic". The second is the "requirement level" + or STATUS of this protocol, one of "required", "recommended", + "elective", "limited use", or "not recommended". + + The status or requirement level is difficult to portray in a one word + label. These status labels should be considered only as an + indication, and a further description, or applicability statement, + should be consulted. + + When a protocol is advanced to proposed standard or draft standard, + it is labeled with a current status. + + At any given time a protocol occupies a cell of the following matrix. + Protocols are likely to be in cells in about the following + proportions (indicated by the relative number of Xs). A new protocol + is most likely to start in the (proposed standard, elective) cell, or + the (experimental, limited use) cell. + + S T A T U S + Req Rec Ele Lim Not + +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ + Std | X | XXX | XXX | | | + S +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ + Draft | X | X | XXX | | | + T +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ + Prop | | X | XXX | | | + A +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ + Info | | | | | | + T +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ + Expr | | | | XXX | | + E +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ + Hist | | | | | XXX | + +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ + + What is a "system"? + + Some protocols are particular to hosts and some to gateways; a few + protocols are used in both. The definitions of the terms below + will refer to a "system" which is either a host or a gateway (or + both). It should be clear from the context of the particular + protocol which types of systems are intended. + + + + + +Internet Architecture Board Standards Track [Page 8] + +RFC 1920 Internet Standards March 1996 + + +4.1. Definitions of Protocol State + + Every protocol listed in this document is assigned to a "maturity + level" or STATE of standardization: "standard", "draft standard", + "proposed standard", "experimental", or "historic". + + 4.1.1. Standard Protocol + + The IESG has established this as an official standard protocol for + the Internet. These protocols are assigned STD numbers (see RFC- + 1311). These are separated into two groups: (1) IP protocol and + above, protocols that apply to the whole Internet; and (2) + network-specific protocols, generally specifications of how to do + IP on particular types of networks. + + 4.1.2. Draft Standard Protocol + + The IESG is actively considering this protocol as a possible + Standard Protocol. Substantial and widespread testing and comment + are desired. Comments and test results should be submitted to the + IESG. There is a possibility that changes will be made in a Draft + Standard Protocol before it becomes a Standard Protocol. + + 4.1.3. Proposed Standard Protocol + + These are protocol proposals that may be considered by the IESG + for standardization in the future. Implementation and testing by + several groups is desirable. Revision of the protocol + specification is likely. + + 4.1.4. Experimental Protocol + + A system should not implement an experimental protocol unless it + is participating in the experiment and has coordinated its use of + the protocol with the developer of the protocol. + + Typically, experimental protocols are those that are developed as + part of an ongoing research project not related to an operational + service offering. While they may be proposed as a service + protocol at a later stage, and thus become proposed standard, + draft standard, and then standard protocols, the designation of a + protocol as experimental may sometimes be meant to suggest that + the protocol, although perhaps mature, is not intended for + operational use. + + + + + + + +Internet Architecture Board Standards Track [Page 9] + +RFC 1920 Internet Standards March 1996 + + + 4.1.5. Informational Protocol + + Protocols developed by other standard organizations, or vendors, + or that are for other reasons outside the purview of the IESG, may + be published as RFCs for the convenience of the Internet community + as informational protocols. + + 4.1.6. Historic Protocol + + These are protocols that are unlikely to ever become standards in + the Internet either because they have been superseded by later + developments or due to lack of interest. + +4.2. Definitions of Protocol Status + + This document lists a "requirement level" or STATUS for each + protocol. The status is one of "required", "recommended", + "elective", "limited use", or "not recommended". + + 4.2.1. Required Protocol + + A system must implement the required protocols. + + 4.2.2. Recommended Protocol + + A system should implement the recommended protocols. + + 4.2.3. Elective Protocol + + A system may or may not implement an elective protocol. The + general notion is that if you are going to do something like this, + you must do exactly this. There may be several elective protocols + in a general area, for example, there are several electronic mail + protocols, and several routing protocols. + + 4.2.4. Limited Use Protocol + + These protocols are for use in limited circumstances. This may be + because of their experimental state, specialized nature, limited + functionality, or historic state. + + 4.2.5. Not Recommended Protocol + + These protocols are not recommended for general use. This may be + because of their limited functionality, specialized nature, or + experimental or historic state. + + + + + +Internet Architecture Board Standards Track [Page 10] + +RFC 1920 Internet Standards March 1996 + + +5. The Standards Track + + This section discusses in more detail the procedures used by the RFC + Editor and the IESG in making decisions about the labeling and + publishing of protocols as standards. + +5.1. The RFC Processing Decision Table + + Here is the current decision table for processing submissions by the + RFC Editor. The processing depends on who submitted it, and the + status they want it to have. + + +==========================================================+ + |**************| S O U R C E | + +==========================================================+ + | Desired | IAB | IESG | IRSG | Other | + | Status | | | | | + +==========================================================+ + | | | | | | + | Standard | Bogus | Publish | Bogus | Bogus | + | or | (2) | (1) | (2) | (2) | + | Draft | | | | | + | Standard | | | | | + +--------------+----------+----------+----------+----------+ + | | | | | | + | | Refer | Publish | Refer | Refer | + | Proposed | (3) | (1) | (3) | (3) | + | Standard | | | | | + | | | | | | + +--------------+----------+----------+----------+----------+ + | | | | | | + | | Notify | Publish | Notify | Notify | + | Experimental | (4) | (1) | (4) | (4) | + | Protocol | | | | | + | | | | | | + +--------------+----------+----------+----------+----------+ + | | | | | | + | Information | Publish | Publish |Discretion|Discretion| + | or Opinion | (1) | (1) | (5) | (5) | + | Paper | | | | | + | | | | | | + +==========================================================+ + + (1) Publish. + + (2) Bogus.

Documents from + Area Directors or Working Group Chairs may be considered in the same + way as documents from "other". + +5.2. The Standards Track Diagram + + There is a part of the STATUS and STATE categorization that is called + the standards track. Actually, only the changes of state are + significant to the progression along the standards track, though the + status assignments may change as well. + + The states illustrated by single line boxes are temporary states, + those illustrated by double line boxes are long term states. A + protocol will normally be expected to remain in a temporary state for + several months (minimum six months for proposed standard, minimum + four months for draft standard). A protocol may be in a long term + state for many years. + + A protocol may enter the standards track only on the recommendation + of the IESG; and may move from one state to another along the track + only on the recommendation of the IESG. That is, it takes action by + the IESG to either start a protocol on the track or to move it along. + + Generally, as the protocol enters the standards track a decision is + made as to the eventual STATUS, requirement level or applicability + (elective, recommended, or required) the protocol will have, although + a somewhat less stringent current status may be assigned, and it then + is placed in the the proposed standard STATE with that status. So + the initial placement of a protocol is into state 1. At any time the + STATUS decision may be revisited. + + + + + +Internet Architecture Board Standards Track [Page 12] + +RFC 1920 Internet Standards March 1996 + + + | + +<----------------------------------------------+ + | ^ + V 0 | 4 + +-----------+ +===========+ + | enter |-->----------------+-------------->|experiment | + +-----------+ | +=====+=====+ + | | + V 1 | + +-----------+ V + | proposed |-------------->+ + +--->+-----+-----+ | + | | | + | V 2 | + +<---+-----+-----+ V + | draft std |-------------->+ + +--->+-----+-----+ | + | | | + | V 3 | + +<---+=====+=====+ V + | standard |-------------->+ + +=====+=====+ | + | + V 5 + +=====+=====+ + | historic | + +===========+ + + The transition from proposed standard (1) to draft standard (2) can + only be by action of the IESG and only after the protocol has been + proposed standard (1) for at least six months. + + The transition from draft standard (2) to standard (3) can only be by + action of the IESG and only after the protocol has been draft + standard (2) for at least four months. + + Occasionally, the decision may be that the protocol is not ready for + standardization and will be assigned to the experimental state (4). + This is off the standards track, and the protocol may be resubmitted + to enter the standards track after further work.

The host interface has been + standardized in RFC-1112; however, multicast-routing gateways are in + the experimental stage and are not widely available. An Internet + host should support all of RFC-1112, except for the IGMP protocol + itself which is optional; see RFC-1122 for more details. Even + without IGMP, implementation of RFC-1112 will provide an important + advance: IP-layer access to local network multicast addressing. It + is expected that IGMP will become recommended for all hosts and + gateways at some future date. + + SMI, MIB-II SNMP -- The Internet Architecture Board recommends that + all IP and TCP implementations be network manageable. At the current + time, this implies implementation of the Internet MIB-II (RFC-1213), + and at least the recommended management protocol SNMP (RFC-1157). + + RIP -- The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is widely implemented + and used in the Internet. However, both implementors and users + should be aware that RIP has some serious technical limitations as a + routing protocol. The IETF is currently devpeloping several + candidates for a new standard "open" routing protocol with better + properties than RIP. The IAB urges the Internet community to track + these developments, and to implement the new protocol when it is + standardized; improved Internet service will result for many users. + + TP-TCP -- As OSI protocols become more widely implemented and used, + there will be an increasing need to support interoperation with the + TCP/IP protocols. The Internet Engineering Task Force is formulating + strategies for interoperation. RFC-1006 provides one interoperation + mode, in which TCP/IP is used to emulate TP0 in order to support OSI + applications. Hosts that wish to run OSI connection-oriented + applications in this mode should use the procedure described in RFC- + 1006. In the future, the IAB expects that a major portion of the + Internet will support both TCP/IP and OSI (inter-)network protocols + in parallel, and it will then be possible to run OSI applications + across the Internet using full OSI protocol "stacks". + + + + + + + + + + + + +Internet Architecture Board Standards Track [Page 21] + +RFC 1920 Internet Standards March 1996 + + +6.3.
