+Introduction
+
+ A discussion of the standardization process and the RFC document
+ series is presented first, followed by an explanation of the terms.
+ Sections 6.2 - 6.10 contain the lists of protocols in each stage of
+ standardization. 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.

+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.

+
+4. 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.

+
+ 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.

+
+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.

+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.

+ The IESG has designated the IESG Secretary as its agent for
+ forwarding documents with IESG approval and for registering concerns
+ in response to notifications (4) to the RFC Editor. 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.

+ 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. There are other
+ paths into the experimental and historic states that do not involve
+ IESG action.
+
+ Sometimes one protocol is replaced by another and thus becomes
+ historic, or it may happen that a protocol on the standards track is
+ in a sense overtaken by another protocol (or other events) and
+ becomes historic (state 5).

+RFC 1920 Internet Standards March 1996
+
+
+Applicability Statements:
+
+ IGMP -- The Internet Architecture Board intends to move towards
+ general adoption of IP multicasting, as a more efficient solution
+ than broadcasting for many applications. 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".

+6.10. Obsolete Protocols
+
+Some of the protocols listed in this memo are described in RFCs that are
+obsoleted by newer RFCs. "Obsolete" or "obsoleted" is not an official
+state or status of protocols. This subsection is for information only.
+
+While it may seem to be obviously wrong to have an obsoleted RFC in the
+list of standards, there may be cases when an older standard is in the
+process of being replaced. This process may take a year or two.
+
+Many obsoleted protocols are of little interest and are dropped from
+this memo altogether. Some obsoleted protocols have received enough
+recognition that it seems appropriate to list them under their current
+status and with the following reference to their current replacement.
