1099 Reynolds Dec 91 Requests For Comments Summary
This memo.
1098 Case Apr 89 A Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP)
This RFC is a re-release of RFC 1067, with a changed "Status of this
Memo" section. This memo defines a simple protocol by which management
information for a network element may be inspected or altered by
logically remote users. In particular, together with its companion
memos which describe the structure of management information along with
the initial management information base, these documents provide a
simple, workable architecture and system for managing TCP/IP-based
internets and in particular the Internet.
1097 Miller Apr 89 Telnet Subliminal-Message Option
This RFC specifies a standard for the Internet community. Hosts on the
Internet that display subliminal messages within the Telnet protocol are
expected to adopt and implement this standard.
1096 Marcy Mar 89 Telnet X Display Location Option
This RFC specifies a standard for the Internet community. Hosts on the
Internet that transmit the X display location within the Telnet protocol
Reynolds [Page 1]RFC 1099 Summary of 1000-1099 December 1991
are expected to adopt and implement this standard.
1095 Warrier Apr 89 The Common Management Information
Services and Protocol over TCP/IP
(CMOT)
This memo defines a network management architecture that uses the
International Organization for Standardization's (ISO) Common Management
Information Services/Common Management Information Protocol (CMIS/CMIP)
in a TCP/IP environment. This architecture provides a means by which
control and monitoring information can be exchanged between a manager
and a remote network element. In particular, this memo defines the
means for implementing the Draft International Standard (DIS) version of
CMIS/CMIP on top of Internet transport protocols for the purpose of
carrying management information defined in the Internet-standard
management information base. DIS CMIS/CMIP is suitable for deployment
in TCP/IP networks while CMIS/CMIP moves toward becoming an
International Standard. Together with the relevant ISO standards and
the companion RFCs that describe the initial structure of management
information and management information base, these documents provide the
basis for a comprehensive architecture and system for managing TCP/IP-
based internets, and in particular the Internet.
1094 Sun Mar 89 NFS: Network File System
Protocol Specification

through a list of possible terminal types and selecting the most
appropriate
1090 Ullmann Feb 89 SMTP on X.25
This memo proposes a standard for SMTP on the virtual circuit facility
provided by the X.25 standard of the CCITT.
1089 Schoffstall Feb 89 SNMP over Ethernet
This memo describes an experimental method by which the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) can be used over Ethernet MAC layer framing
instead of the Internet UDP/IP protocol stack. This specification is
useful for LAN based network elements that support no higher layer
protocols beyond the MAC sub-layer.
1088 McLaughlin Feb 89 A Standard for the Transmission of IP
Datagrams over NetBIOS Networks
This document specifies a standard method of encapsulating the Internet
Protocol (IP) datagrams on NetBIOS networks.

Internet that choose to implement ISO TP0 transport connectivity between
TCP and X.25 based hosts are expected to experiment with this proposal.
TCP port 146 is reserved for this proposal.
Reynolds [Page 3]RFC 1099 Summary of 1000-1099 December 1991
1085 Rose Dec 88 ISO Presentation Services
on top of TCP/IP-based internets
RFC 1006 describes a mechanism for providing the ISO transport service
on top of TCP/IP. Once this method is applied, one may implement "real"
ISO applications on top of TCP/IP-based internets, by simply
implementing OSI session, presentation, and application services on top
of the transport service access point which is provided on top of the
TCP. Although straight-forward, there are some environments in which
the richness provided by the OSI application layer is desired, but it is
nonetheless impractical to implement the underlying OSI infrastructure
(i.e., the presentation, session, and transport services on top of the
TCP).
This memo describes an approach for providing "stream-lined" support of
OSI application services on top of TCP/IP-based internets for such
constrained environments. This memo proposes a standard for the
Internet community.
1084 Reynolds Dec 88 BOOTP Vendor Information Extensions
This RFC is a slight revision and extension of RFC-1048 by Philip
Prindeville. This memo will be updated as additional tags are are
defined. This edition introduces Tag 13 for Boot File Size. Comments
and suggestions for improvements are sought.
1083 IAB Dec 88 IAB Official Protocol Standards

internets in the short-term. In particular, together with its companion
memos which describe the structure of management information along with
the initial network management protocol, these documents provide a
simple, workable architecture and system for managing TCP/IP-based
internets, and in particular, the Internet.
This memo specifies a draft standard for the Internet community. TCP/IP
implementations in the Internet which are network manageable are
expected to adopt and implement this specification.
1065 Rose Aug 88 Structure and Identification of
Management Information for
TCP/IP-based internets
This RFC provides the common definitions for the structure and
identification of management information for TCP/IP-based internets. In
particular, together with its companion memos, which describe the
initial management information base along with the initial network
management protocol, these documents provide a simple, working
architecture and system for managing TCP/IP-based internets and in
particular, the Internet.

keywords) used in protocols in the Internet community. Distribution of
this memo is unlimited.
1059 Mills Jul 88 Network Time Protocol (Version 1)
Specification and Implementation
This memo describes the Network Time Protocol (NTP), specifies its
formal structure and summarizes information useful for its
implementation. NTP provides the mechanisms to synchronize time and
coordinate time distribution in a large, diverse internet operating at
rates from mundane to lightwave. It uses a returnable-time design in
which a distributed subnet of time servers operating in a self-
organizing, hierarchical master-slave configuration synchronizes logical
clocks within the subnet and to national time standards via wire or
radio. The servers can also redistribute reference time via local
routing algorithms and time daemons.
The NTP architectures, algorithms and protocols which have evolved over
several years of implementation and refinement are described in this
document. The prototype system, which has been in regular operation in
the Internet for the last two years, is described in an Appendix along
with performance data which shows that timekeeping accuracy throughout
most portions of the Internet can be ordinarily maintained to within a
few tens of milliseconds, even the cases of failure or disruption of
clocks, time servers or nets. This is a Draft Standard for an Elective
protocol.
1058 Hedrick Jun 88 Routing Information Protocol
This RFC describes an existing protocol for exchanging routing
information among gateways and other hosts. It is intended to be used
as a basis for developing gateway software for use in the Internet
community.
Reynolds [Page 9]RFC 1099 Summary of 1000-1099 December 1991
1057 Sun Jun 88 RPC: Remote Procedure Call Protocol
Specification Version 2
This RFC describes a standard that Sun Microsystems and others are
using, and is one we wish to propose for the Internet's consideration.
This memo is not an Internet standard at this time.
1056 Lambert Jun 88 PCMAIL: A Distributed Mail System
for Personal Computers
This memo is a discussion of the Pcmail workstation based distributed
mail system. It is identical to the discussion in RFC-993, save that a
new, much simpler mail transport protocol is described. The new
transport protocol is the result of continued research into ease of
protocol implementation and use issues.
1055 Romkey Jun 88 A Nonstandard for Transmission of
IP Datagrams over Serial Lines: SLIP
The TCP/IP protocol family runs over a variety of network media: IEEE
802.3 (ethernet) and 802.5 (token ring) LAN's, X.25 lines, satellite
links, and serial lines. There are standard encapsulations for IP
packets defined for many of these networks, but there is no standard for
serial lines. SLIP, Serial Line IP, is a currently a de facto standard,
commonly used for point-to-point serial connections running TCP/IP. It
is not an Internet standard.
1054 Deering May 88 Host Extensions for IP Multicasting
This memo specifies the extensions required of a host implementation of
the Internet Protocol (IP) to support multicasting. IP multicasting is
the transmission of an IP datagram to a "host group", a set hosts
identified by a single IP destination address. A multicast datagram is
delivered to all members of its destination host group with the same
"best-efforts" reliability as regular unicast IP datagrams. It is
proposed as a standard for IP multicasting in the Internet. This
specification is a major revision of RFC-988.
1053 Levy Apr 88 Telnet X.3 PAD Option
This RFC proposes a new option to Telnet for the Internet community, and
requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.

1052 Cerf Apr 88 IAB Recommendations for the
Development of Internet Network
Management Standards
This RFC is intended to convey to the Internet community and other
interested parties the recommendations of the Internet Activities Board
(IAB) for the development of network management protocols for use in the
TCP/IP environment. This memo does NOT, in and of itself, define or
propose an Official Internet Protocol. It does reflect, however, the
policy of the IAB with respect to further network management development
in the short and long term.
1051 Prindeville Mar 88 A Standard for the Transmission of IP
Datagrams and ARP Packets over ARCNET
Networks
This memo specifies a standard method of encapsulating Internet Protocol
(IP) and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) datagrams on an ARCNET. This
RFC is a standard protocol for the Internet community.
1050 Sun Apr 88 RPC: Remote Procedure Call
Protocol Specification
This memo specifies a message protocol used in implementing Sun's Remote
Procedure Call (RPC) package. This RFC describes a standard that Sun
Microsystems and others are using and is one they wish to propose for
the Internet's consideration. It is not an Internet standard at this
time.
1049 Sirbu Mar 88 A Content-Type Header Field for
Internet Messages

Comments and suggestions for improvements are sought.
Reynolds [Page 11]RFC 1099 Summary of 1000-1099 December 1991
1047 Partridge Feb 88 Duplicate Messages and SMTP
An examination of a synchronization problem in the Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol (SMTP) is presented. This synchronization problem can cause a
message to be delivered multiple times. A method for avoiding this
problem is suggested. Nodding familiarity with the SMTP specification,
RFC-821, is required.
1046 Prue Feb 88 A Queuing Algorithm to Provide
Type-of-Service for IP Links
This memo is intended to explore how Type-of-Service might be
implemented in the Internet. The proposal describes a method of queuing
which can provide the different classes of service. The technique also
prohibits one class of service from consuming excessive resources or
excluding other classes of service. This is an "idea paper" and
discussion is strongly encouraged.
1045 Cheriton Feb 88 VMTP: Versatile Message Transaction
Protocol Protocol Specification
This memo specifies the Versatile Message Transaction Protocol (VMTP)
[Version 0.7 of 19-Feb-88], a transport protocol specifically designed
to support the transaction model of communication, as exemplified by
remote procedure call (RPC). The full function of VMTP, including
support for security, real-time, asynchronous message exchanges,
streaming, multicast and idempotency, provides a rich selection to the
VMTP user level. Subsettability allows the VMTP module for particular
clients and servers to be specialized and simplified to the services
actually required. Examples of such simple clients and servers include
PROM network bootload programs, network boot servers, data sensors and
simple controllers, to mention but a few examples. This RFC describes a
protocol proposed as a standard for the Internet community.
1044 Hardwick Feb 88 Internet Protocol on Network Systems
HYPERchannel Protocol Specification
This memo intends to provide a complete discussion of the protocols and
techniques used to embed DoD standard Internet Protocol datagrams (and
its associated higher level protocols) on Network Systems Corporation's
HYPERchannel equipment. This document is directed toward network
planners and implementors who are already familiar with the TCP/IP
protocol suite and the techniques used to carry TCP/IP traffic on common
networks such as the DDN or the Ethernet. No great familiarity with NSC
products is assumed; an appendix is devoted to a review of NSC
Reynolds [Page 12]RFC 1099 Summary of 1000-1099 December 1991
technologies and protocols.
1043 Yasuda Feb 88 TELNET Data Entry Terminal Option
DODIIS Implementation
This RFC suggests a proposed protocol on the TELNET Data Entry Terminal
(DET) Option - DODIIS Implementation for the Internet community. It is
intended that this specification be capatible with the specification of
DET Option in RFC-732. Discussion and suggests for improvements are
encouraged.
1042 Postel Feb 88 A Standard for the Transmission of
IP Datagrams over IEEE 802 Networks
This RFC specifies a standard method of encapsulating the Internet
Protocol (IP) datagrams and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests
and replies on IEEE 802 Networks to allow compatible and interoperable
implementations. This RFC specifies a protocol standard for the
Internet community.
1041 Rekhter Jan 88 Telnet 3270 Regime Option
This RFC specifies a proposed standard for the Internet community.
Hosts on the Internet that want to support 3270 data stream within the
Telnet protocol, are expected to adopt and implement this standard.
1040 Linn Jan 88 Privacy Enhancement for Internet
Electronic Mail: Part I Message
Encipherment and Authentication
Procedures
This RFC is the Outgrowth of a series of IAB Privacy Task Force meetings
and of internal working papers distributed for those meetings. This
memo defines message encipherment and authentication procedures, as the
initial phase of an effort to provide privacy enhancement services for
electronic mail transfer in the Internet. Detailed key management
mechanisms to support these procedures will be defined in a subsequent
RFC. As a goal of this initial phase, it is intended that the
procedures defined here be compatible with a wide range of key
management approaches, including both conventional (symmetric) and
public-key (asymmetric) approaches for encryption of data encrypting
keys. Use of conventional cryptography for message text encryption
and/or integrity check computation is anticipated.
Reynolds [Page 13]RFC 1099 Summary of 1000-1099 December 1991

This memo is a pre-publication draft of the revised Internet Protocol
Security Option. This RFC reflects the version as approved by the
Protocol Standards Steering group, and is provided for informational
purposes only. The final version of this document will be available
from Navy publications and should not differ from this document in any
major fashion. This document will be published as a change to the MIL-
STD 1777, "Internet Protocol".
1037 Greenberg Dec 87 NFILE - A File Access Protocol
This document includes a specification of the NFILE file access protocol
and its underlying levels of protocol, the Token List Transport Layer
and Byte Stream with Mark. The goal of this specification is to promote
discussion of the ideas described here, and to encourage designers of
future file protocols to take advantage of these ideas. A secondary
goal is to make the specification available to sites that might benefit
from implementing NFILE.
1036 Horton Dec 87 Standard for Interchange of
USENET Messages
This RFC defines the standard format for the interchange of network News
messages among USENET hosts. It updates and replaces RFC-850,
reflecting version B2.11 of the News program. This memo is distributed
as an RFC to make this information easily accessible to the Internet
community. It does not specify an Internet standard.
1035 Mockapetris Nov 87 Domain Names - Implementation
Specification

obsoletes RFC-882. This memo describes the domain style names and their
used for host address look up and electronic mail forwarding. It
discusses the clients and servers in the domain name system and the
protocol used between them.
1033 Lottor Nov 87 Domain Administrators Operations
Guide
This RFC provides guidelines for domain administrators in operating a
domain server and maintaining their portion of the hierarchical
database. Familiarity with the domain system is assumed (see RFCs 1031,
1032, 1034, and 1035).
1032 Stahl Nov 87 Domain Administrators Guide
Domains are administrative entities that provide decentralized
management of host naming and addressing. The domain-naming system is
distributed and hierarchical.
This memo describes procedures for registering a domain with the Network
Information Center (NIC) of Defense Data Network (DDN), and offers
guidelines on the establishment and administration of a domain in
accordance with the requirements specified in RFC-920. It is recommended
that the guidelines described in this document be used by domain
administrators in the establishment and control of second-level domains.
The role of the domain administrator (DA) is that of coordinator,
manager, and technician. If his domain is established at the second
level or lower in the tree, the domain administrator must register by
interacting with the management of the domain directly above this.
1031 Lazear Nov 87 Milnet Name Domain Transition
This RFC consolidates information necessary for the implementation of
domain style names throughout the DDN/MILNET Internet community. The
introduction of domain style names will impact all hosts in the
DDN/MILNET Internet. This RFC is designed as an aid to implementors and
administrators by providing: 1) an overview of the transition process
from host tables to domains, 2) a timetable for the transition, and 3)
references to documentation and software relating to the domain system.

1030 Lambert Nov 87 On Testing the NETBLT Protocol over
Divers Networks
This memo describes the results gathered from testing NETBLT over three
networks of different bandwidths and round-trip delays. The results are
not complete, but the information gathered so far has not been
promising. The NETBLT protocol is specified in RFC-998; this document
assumes an understanding of the specification as described in RFC-998.
1029 Parr May 88 A More Tolerant Approach to Address
Resolution for Multi-Lan system of
Ethernets
This memo discusses an extension to a Bridge Protocol to detect and
disclose changes in heighbouring host address parameters in a Multi-Lan
system of Ethernets. The problem is one which is appearing more and
more regularly as the interconnected systems grow larger on Campuses and
in Commercial Institutions. This RFC suggests a protocol enhancement
for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements.
1028 Davin Nov 87 A Simple Gateway Monitoring Protocol
This memo defines a simple application-layer protocol by which
management information for a gateway may be inspected or altered by
remote users. This proposal is intended only as an interim response to
immediate gateway monitoring needs.

Environments for Computational
Mathematics
This memo is a report on the discussion of the representation of
equations in a workshop at the ACM SIGGRAPH Conference held in Anaheim,
California on 30 July 1987.
1018 McKenzie Aug 87 Some Comments on SQuID
This memo is a discussion of some of the ideas expressed in RFC-1016 on
Source Quench. This memo introduces the distinction of the cause of
congestion in a gateway between the effects of "Funneling" and
Mismatch". It is offered in the same spirit as RFC-1016; to stimulate
discussion. The opinions offered are personal, not corporate, opinions.
1017 Leiner Aug 87 Network Requirements for Scientific
Research
This RFC identifies the requirements on communication networks for
supporting scientific research. It proposes some specific areas for
near term work, as well as some long term goals. This is an "idea"
paper and discussion is strongly encouraged.
1016 Prue July 87 Something a Host Could Do with Source
Quench: The Source Quench Introduced
Delay (SQuID)
The memo is intended to explore the issue of what a host could do with a
source quench. The proposal is for each source host IP module to
introduce some delay between datagrams sent to the same destination
host. This is a "crazy idea paper" and discussion is essential.
1015 Leiner July 87 Implementation Plan for Interagency
Research Internet
This RFC proposes an Interagency Research Internet as the natural
outgrowth of the current Internet. This is an "idea paper" and
Reynolds [Page 18]RFC 1099 Summary of 1000-1099 December 1991
discussion is strongly encouraged.
1014 Sun Jun 87 XDR: External Data Representation
Standard
XDR is a standard for the description and encoding of data. It is
useful for transferring data between different computer architectures.
XDR fits into ISO presentation layer, and is roughly analogous in
purpose to X.409, ISO Abstract Syntax Notation. The major difference
between these two is that XDR uses implicit typing, while X.409 uses
explicit typing. This RFC is distributed for information only, it does
not establish a Internet standard.
1013 Scheifler Jun 87 X Window System Protocol,
Version 11-Beta
This RFC is distributed to the Internet community for information only.
It does not establish an Internet standard. The X window system has
been widely reviewed and tested. The Internet community is encouraged
to experiment with it.
1012 Reynolds Jun 87 Bibliography of Requests for
Comments 1-999
This RFC is a reference guide for the Internet community which provides
a bibliographic summary of the Request for Comments numbers 1 through
999 issued between the years 1969-1987.
1011 Reynolds May 87 Official Internet Protocols
This memo is an official status report on the protocols used in the
Internet community. It identifies the documents specifying the official
protocols used in the Internet. Comments indicate any revisions or
changes planned.
1010 Reynolds May 87 Assigned Numbers
This memo is an official status report on the numbers used in protocols
in the Internet community. It documents the currently assigned values
from several series of numbers including link, socket, port, and
protocol, used in network protocol implementations.

1009 Braden Jun 87 Requirements for Internet Gateways
This RFC summarizes the requirements for gateways to be used between
networks supporting the Internet protocols. This document is a formal
statement of the requirements to be met by gateways used in the Internet
system. As such, it is an official specification for the Internet
community.
1008 McCoy Jun 87 Implementation Guide for the ISO
Transport Protocol
This RFC is being distributed to members of the Internet community in
order to solicit comments on the Implementors Guide. While this
document may not be directly relevant to the research problems of the
Internet, it may be of some interest to a number of researchers and
implementors.
1007 McCoy Jun 87 Military Supplement to the ISO
Transport Protocol
This document supplements the Transport Service and Protocol of the
International Standards Organization (ISO), IS 8072 and IS 8073,
respectively, and their formal descriptions by providing conventions,
option selections and parameter values. This RFC is being distributed
to members of the Internet community in order to solicit comments on the
Draft Military Supplement. While this document may not be directly
relevant to the research problems of the Internet, it may be of some
interest to a number of researchers and implementors.
1006 Rose May 87 ISO Transport Services on top of
the TCP Version: 3
This memo specifies a standard for the Internet community. Hosts on the
Internet that choose to implement ISO transport services on top of the
TCP are expected to adopt and implement this standard. TCP port 102 is
reserved for hosts which implement this standard. This memo specifies
version 3 of the protocol and supersedes RFC-983. Changes between the
protocol is described in RFC-983 and this memo are minor, but
unfortunately incompatible.
1005 Khanna May 87 The ARPANET AHIP-E Host Access
Protocol (Enhanced AHIP)
This RFC is a proposed specification for the encoding of Class A IP
Reynolds [Page 20]RFC 1099 Summary of 1000-1099 December 1991
addresses for use on ARPANET-style networks such as the Milnet and
Arpanet, and for enhancements to the ARPANET AHIP Host Access Protocol
(AHIP; formerly known as 1822). These enhancements increase the size of
the PSN field, allow ARPANET hosts to use logical names to address each
other, allow for the communication of type-of-service information from
the host to the PSN and enable the PSN to provide congestion feedback to
the host on a connection basis.
1004 Mills Apr 87 A Distributed-Protocol
Authentication Scheme
The purpose of this RFC is to focus discussion on authentication
problems in the Internet and possible methods of solution. The proposed
solutions this document are not intended as standards for the Internet
at this time. Rather, it is hoped that a general consensus will emerge
as to the appropriate solution to authentication problems, leading
eventually to the adoption of standards. This document suggests
mediated access-control and authentication procedures suitable for those
cases when an association is to be set up between users belonging to
different trust environments.
1003 Katz Mar 87 Issues in Defining an Equations
Representation Standard
This memo is intended to identify and explore issues in defining a
standard for the exchange of mathematical equations. No attempt is made
at a complete definition and more questions are asked than are answered.
Questions about the user interface are only addressed to the extent that
they affect interchange issues.
1002 NETBIOS Mar 87 Protocol Standard for A NetBIOS
Service on a TCP/UDP Transport:
Detailed Specifications
This RFC defines a proposed standard protocol to support NetBIOS
services in a TCP/IP environment. Both local network and internet
operation are supported. Various node types are defined to accommodate
local and internet topologies and to allow operation with or without the
use of IP broadcast. This RFC gives the detailed specifications of the
netBIOS-over-TCP packets, protocols, and defined constants and
variables. A more general overview is found in a companion RFC,
"Protocol Standard For NetBIOS Service on TCP/UDP Transport: Concepts
and Methods".
