Postel +Request for Comments: 865 ISI + May 1983 + + + + Quote of the Day Protocol + + + + +This RFC specifies a standard for the ARPA Internet community. Hosts on +the ARPA Internet that choose to implement a Quote of the Day Protocol +are expected to adopt and implement this standard. + +A useful debugging and measurement tool is a quote of the day service. +A quote of the day service simply sends a short message without regard +to the input. + +TCP Based Character Generator Service + + One quote of the day service is defined as a connection based + application on TCP. A server listens for TCP connections on TCP port + 17. Once a connection is established a short message is sent out the + connection (and any data received is thrown away). The service + closes the connection after sending the quote. + +UDP Based Character Generator Service + + Another quote of the day service is defined as a datagram based + application on UDP. A server listens for UDP datagrams on UDP port + 17. When a datagram is received, an answering datagram is sent + containing a quote (the data in the received datagram is ignored). + +Quote Syntax + + There is no specific syntax for the quote. It is recommended that it + be limited to the ASCII printing characters, space, carriage return, + and line feed. The quote may be just one or up to several lines, but + it should be less than 512 characters. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Postel [Page 1] + -- cgit v1.2.3
