IETF
Internet Engineering Task ForceThe Internet is not really run by anyone, but, the IETF is an organisation of cooperating volunteers who work together within some agreed rules to define various protocols. The vast majority of software on the Internet uses these protocols.
The IETF publishes two sets of documents:
- Internet Drafts are works in progress. Most of the work of developing protocols is recorded as a series of Internet Drafts until it is complete.
- Requests For Comment (RFCs) are, despite their name, the more formal documents of the IETF. The vast majority of protocol in use on the Internet are defined in one or more RFCs.
