The protocol standards are managed for the IAB by the Internet
Assigned Numbers Authority.
Please refer to the documents "Assigned Numbers" (RFC-1060) and
"Official Internet Protocols" (RFC-1011) for further information
about the status of protocol documents. There are two documents that
summarize the requirements for host and gateways in the Internet,
"Host Requirements" (RFC-1122 and RFC-1123) and "Gateway
Requirements" (RFC-1009).
How to obtain the most recent edition of this "IAB Official

The Network Information Center (NIC) provides many information
services for the Internet community. Among them is maintaining the
Requests for Comments (RFC) library.
RFCs can be obtained via FTP from NISC.SRI.COM, with the pathname
"rfc/rfcnnnn.txt" where "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC. A
list of all RFCs may be obtained by copying the file "rfc/rfc-
index.txt". Log in with FTP username "anonymous" and password
"guest".
The NIC also provides an automatic mail service for those sites which
cannot use FTP. Address the request to MAIL-SERVER@NISC.SRI.COM and
in the body of the message indicate the file name, as in "send
rfc:rfcnnnn.txt".
Some RFCs are now available in PostScript, these may be obtained from
the NIC in a similar fashion by substituting ".ps" for ".txt".
How to obtain the most recent edition of this "IAB Official
Protocol Standards" memo:
The file RFC:IAB-STANDARDS.TXT may be copied via FTP from the
NIC.DDN.MIL computer following the same procedures used to
obtain RFCs.
7.5. Other Sources for Requests for Comments
Information about other sources for RFCs and the procedures for
copying RFCs form those sources may be found in the file "in-
notes/rfc-retrieval.txt" on the host VENERA.ISI.EDU.
